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] https://t.co/mheiBb4Kla

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]: https://t.co/Z1bzeLgjYl

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🧠 🔗: https://t.co/3G5aO5qWMf 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". https://t.co/oWtDVR0LyH

1) 3yr 100% (or 6-yr 50%) postdoc, linked to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Research, Oslo University Hospital. Clinical background and experience is an advantage, but lack of clinical competence may be compensated by other relevant skills. @KGJ_ND

Wrote a (I hope easily digestible) review paper on imaging genetics. Now online OA #TranslationalPsychiatry. Hope its of use! https://t.co/RypscIBBpS

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. https://t.co/C8WLBgtg5h

🚨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... https://t.co/5ve3brU1vA

Objective: Mental disorders are heritable and polygenic, and genome-wide genetic correlations (rg) have indicated widespread shared genetic risk across multiple disorders and related traits, mirror...

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: https://t.co/vI5FM2drSV

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🧠 https://t.co/427qPHL7aC
