Imputing deep MDD phenotypes for genetic studies, by Andy Dahl and Na Cai biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats to mentor Jordan Smoller on leading this year’s #WCPG2022 meeting as ISPG president (and delivering inspiring remarks at every turn) 😌✨

The first update of the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative flagship paper on the genetic architecture of COVID-19 susceptibility and severity is now out in nature very thankful to be involved in this poject! nature.com/articles/s4158…

This keeps coming up in conversation, so I’m pinning it on my profile.

New preprint! We studied how rare protein-coding variants impact cognitive function & linked diseases in UK Biobank. We identified 8 large-effect cog fx genes, dosage-sensitivity for KDM5B, additivity of rare variant and polygenic risk & more (1/12) medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled to say that ASLPrep is now out at Nature Methods; check it out here: nature.com/articles/s4159…. Amazing work led by Azeez Adebimpe with Max Bertolero Matt Cieslak Oscar Esteban Russ Poldrack and many others; an incredible team.

Cool new paper from Travis Mallard Kathryn Paige Harden and colleagues identifying 2 'transdiagnostic genetic factors that distinguish between common forms of psychopathology vs rarer forms of serious mental illness.'

Our pre-print on social support & depression in AllofUsResearch is in the wild! 🌿

Speaking of support - fun to work with my friend Younga (Heather) Lee 🇰🇷, mentor Jordan Smoller, and the #IHCC team to look at support types and who benefits most 🤝

How can neuroimaging improve the identification of novel medicines for psychiatric disorders? 🧵👇🏼

Together with the co-organizers Petra Ritter & Claus C Hilgetag, we are excited to announce the Brain Connectivity Workshop 2022

For optimal accessibility and inclusivity in these challenging times, the meeting will be held online and free of charge

Many post-GWAS studies utilize Mendelian randomization and/or colocalization analyses. In this new Review, @verenazuber et al. compare & contrast the motivation, implementation & interpretation of these two approaches.

Stoked to see this paper from Naci Lab finally out. When do #brain #mechanisms of #consciousness develop in #infants ? Congrats to my PhD student Huiqing Hu👏! With Rhodri Cusack @BrainComms academic.oup.com/braincomms/adv… @BrainComms Global Brain Health Institute

Based on our experience teaching Neurohackademy over the years, tal yarkoni and I wrote a book: neuroimaging-data-science.org, intended to be a practical introduction to the intersection of neuroimaging and data science
