3-5 years PostDoc position in Tuebingen (Germany) - the link to the Advertisement is below. Please retreat and share with possibly interested candidates. Thank you :) uni-tuebingen.de/universitaet/s…

Together with @SFFNORMENT & @larswestlye and the Sys4MS project @pablovilloslada we just published a new paper on disconnectome mapping for MS patients. A potential new imaging marker for MS🧠 doi.org/10.1016/j.nicl…

My second PhD paper is out today in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience🥳 Based on covariance in functional brain networks, we derived replicable dimensions of psychopathology in a developmental clinical sample. [1/9] doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.…

New preprint!🚨 Here we derived dimensions of psychopathology based on covariance in functional brain networks in a developmental clinical sample. These dimensions recapitulated the psychopathology hierarchy (i.e. p factor). Brief 🧵 [1/7]: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

My first PhD paper is out today in @ELSneuroscience! In a sample of youth where the majority had at least one psychiatric disorder, we found cross-diagnostic patterns of impaired social skills and cognitive ability in the brain🧠 🔗: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Brief thread [1/6]

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…

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

Happy to share our new paper in @molpsychiatry🥳! 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…

🚨Really excited to see this finally out! 🧬Most common genetic variants associated with mental disorders are also associated with others, as well as with cognitive & personality traits. 🧠Conceptual insights on the genetics of mental disorders inbound... ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.11…

I'm honoured to have been awarded the 2022 @UniOslo Prize for Young Researchers. Here's me on what I research, why I do it, and what this prize means to me uio.no/om/tall-og-fak…

We have quantified calvarial bone marrow adiposity and its genetic architecture from 38k head MRI scans. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… #blood #bone #Genetics 1/n

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…

On Sept 5, Martina J. Lund will defend her PhD thesis on the brain functional connectome across the lifespan and how it relates to age, sex, cognitive abilities and psychopathology. Congratulations! 🎉 @UniOslo_MED @JonetteLund @TobKaufmann @larswestlye med.uio.no/klinmed/englis…

Excited to share the preprint of my second PhD-paper! We estimated normative models of DTI-based white matter structure and cortical morphometrics measures for youths in the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental cohort. 📜: psyarxiv.com/uky5g/ Brief 🧵: [1/5]

I'm incredibly happy to announce that my third PhD paper on oxytocin pathway polygenic scores for loneliness and BMI is now out! (n=274,457, subsample = 9,796) 🥳 Here is the link to the pre-proof: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Disconnectome maps showing the consequences of MS lesions associate with serum neurofilament light chain. A study possible thanks to European collaborations and NORMENT. @toneberge5 @pvilloslada1 @SFFNORMENT @larswestlye doi.org/10.1016/j.nicl…
