This study identifies genetic maps of human sulcal complexity using rare and common variants, revealing new mechanistic pathways for cortical morphogenesis.

The paper quantifies sex differences in human cortical volume by separating contributions from surface area and thickness, and links these to genetic and hormonal factors using neuroimaging data.

The paper discusses challenges in genetic analysis of deep phenotyping projects in common disorders and highlights advances in imputation and GWAS methods to address these challenges.

The paper reports GWAS findings linking common variants in NRXN1, LRP1B, and RORA to increased ventricular volumes in psychosis, using deep phenotyping data from 1,115 cases and controls.

The paper investigates the association between schizophrenia genetic risk and cognitive performance in healthy individuals, finding a link with current cognitive abilities but not with premorbid intelligence or education.
