Lots of laughs and insight gained by working on this review of neuroimaging studies of CNVs with an excellent team. Great, comprehensive figures!

Diphtheria And Tetanus Vaccination History Is Associated With Lower Odds of COVID-19 Hospitalization frontiersin.org/article/10.338… now in Frontiers - Immunology 🦠 #COVID19 UK Biobank

Now we are past the initial excitement, let's take a deeper look into this GIANT paper. A thread. x.com/doctorveera/st…

Our latest multivariate GWAS now on BioRxiv! We studied 14 MRI-derived regional measures of adipose and muscle tissue from 39k individuals, finding large genetic overlap with cardiometabolic diseases, particularly for liver fat. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

ENIGMA's first in-person meeting in 3 years!! - ha, well it almost went to plan when we showed up with 47 people! Thank you Sophia Thomopoulos for organizing our first non-ZOOM ENIGMA Consortium meeting in years @ #SOBP2022 !! + thanks to the restaurant(s!) for putting up with us

Excited to share a new bioRxiv comparing the genetic architecture🧬of the cortex🧠 with and without adjustment for global measures🌐(total surface area, mean thickness), extending some the work we did in our recent Science Magazine paper doi.org/10.1101/2022.0… 1/n

Insightful and well-written commentary @MeikeHettwer et al., and thanks for the kind words Sofie Valk! Follow-up work underway... Always happy to discuss further, and see you at WCPG in September!

New preprint!! We found: 1) two schizophrenia gene sets with pre- versus postnatal cortical expression, 2) these sets associate with distinct neurodevelopmental processes, and 3) set-specific polygenic scores interact to predict diagnosis. Read more: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to share our new paper in molecularpsychiatry🥳! We found: 1) subcortical volumes share substantial SNPs with schizophrenia, 2) shared genes are enriched in neurodevelopmental processes, and 3) two genes are associated with thalamic volume in childhood. nature.com/articles/s4138…

Wrote a (I hope easily digestible) review paper on imaging genetics. Now online OA #TranslationalPsychiatry. Hope its of use! rdcu.be/cXw0K

New preprint🥳 An evolutionary timeline of the oxytocin signaling pathway osf.io/42b8g We show that ancient oxytocin pathway genes support cellular processes in humans. More recent genes sustain adaptive functions, bone preservation & are upregulated in the brain. 🧵⬇️

Excited (and relieved) to finally publish the preprint of a project we've been working on for a few years now: "The genetic architecture of human cerebellar morphology supports a key role for the cerebellum in recent human evolution and psychopathology". medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Fun to run into brilliant people @SOBP2023 who I have not seen for ages, e.g., Olu and Dennis here - and Dennis wearing a splendid T-shirt !!

Excited to share our new preprint. We reveal widespread genetic overlap across neurological and psychiatric disorders and a convergence of brain-related biological associations, contrasting their clinical distinction. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
