Motifs of brain cortical folding from birth to adulthood

Cortical folding of the brain is widely regarded as an interplay between genetic programming and biomechanical forces, closely linked to cytoarchitectonic regionalisation. Abnormal folding patterns are frequently observed in neurodevelopmental conditions and psychiatric disorders. However, significant inter-individua...

Genome-wide analysis of subcortical aging identifies a spatially structured pattern of genetic associations.

This work presents the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) of subcortical LBA, estimated using a deep neural network applied to T1-weighted MRI scans from 41,957 cognitively normal participants in the UK Biobank, and identifies 14 significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms across nine independent loci.

An interpretable omnigenic neural network architecture for the human genome

Genetic prediction of complex phenotypes typically relies on additive linear models, which scale well but cannot capture non-additive effects or deeply integrate molecular and clinical data. Domain-specific neural networks have driven advances in images, text, and other modalities, but genome-scale neural networks rema...

Field-of-view confounding shapes genetic discovery from self-supervised cardiac-imaging phenotypes

Self-supervised models increasingly convert medical images into quantitative phenotypes for biological discovery, but statistical reproducibility does not establish that a learned phenotype represents the intended anatomy. We trained a video masked-autoencoder on 69,932 UK Biobank cardiac cine-MRI studies and performed...

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

BACKGROUND Schizophrenia is increasingly conceptualized as a disorder of large-scale brain network organization arising from atypical neurodevelopment. However, the relationship between early-emerging cortical folding patterns and the maturation of the structural connectome remains poorly understood. METHODS We intro...
