Early postnatal brain volumes and two-year cognitive outcomes in preterm infants: An exploratory machine learning study.

INTRODUCTION Premature birth is associated with an increased risk of cognitive and motor developmental problems. Early prediction of these outcomes is crucial for timely intervention and adequate follow-up. This study aimed to predict cognitive and motor outcomes in preterm-born infants using brain volumetric features...

and theory of mind are related to gray matter volume of the prefrontal cortex in schizophrenia

Cortical Hub Vulnerability and Molecular Signatures of Sulcal Widening in Schizophrenia.

These findings demonstrate that aberrant cortical folding in schizophrenia is constrained by network topology and molecular architecture, and establishes sulcal morphology as a mechanistically grounded biomarker that may help differentiate the neurodevelopmental trajectories of psychiatric disorders.

DNA methylation as proxy of genetic, prenatal and perinatal psychiatric risk factors

Background. Cord blood DNA methylation profile scores (MPSs) based on genetic and pre-/perinatal risk factors for neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs) may capture downstream biological effects and help understand how combined exposure signals contribute to NDC risk. Methods. Using data from two longitudinal birth cohor...
