  • Cross-continental environmental and genome-wide association study on children and adolescent anxiety and depression

    Open AccessBishal Thapaliya, Bhaskar Ray et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2024

    Anxiety and depression in children and adolescents warrant special attention as a public health concern given their devastating and long-term effects on development and mental health. Multiple factors, ranging from genetic vulnerabilities to environmental stressors, influence the risk for the disorders. This study aimed to understand how environmental factors and genomics affect children and adolescents anxiety and depression across three cohorts…

  • The genetic architecture of the human hypothalamus and its involvement in neuropsychiatric behaviours and disorders

  • Trajectories of cortical structures associated with stress across adolescence

    Open AccessTochukwu Nweze, Tobias Banaschewski et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023

    BACKGROUND: Stress exposure in childhood and adolescence has been linked to reductions in cortical structures and cognitive functioning. However, to date, most of these studies have been cross-sectional, limiting the ability to make long-term inferences, given that most cortical structures continue to develop through adolescence. METHODS: Here, we used a subset of the IMAGEN population cohort sample (N = 502; assessment ages: 14, 19, and 22 years…

  • The Role of Empathy in Alcohol Use of Bullying Perpetrators and Victims

    Open AccessMaren Prignitz, Tobias Banaschewski et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    Bullying often results in negative coping in victims, including an increased consumption of alcohol. Recently, however, an increase in alcohol use has also been reported among perpetrators of bullying. The factors triggering this pattern are still unclear. We investigated the role of empathy in the interaction between bullying and alcohol use in an adolescent sample (IMAGEN) at age 13.97 (±0.53) years (baseline (BL), N = 2165, 50.9% female) and a…

  • Longitudinal Associations between Peer and Family Relationships, Emotional Symptoms, and Regional Brain Volume across Adolescence

    Open AccessJessica Stepanous, Luke Munford et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth and Adolescence2023References: 67

    The period of adolescence brings with it a dynamic interaction between social context and behaviour, structural brain development, and anxiety and depressive symptoms. The rate of volumetric change in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and amygdala have been implicated in socioemotional development in adolescence; typically, there is thinning of grey matter volume (GMV) in the vmPFC and growth in the amygdala during this time. The directi…

  • Genetic architectures of cerebral ventricles and their overlap with neuropsychiatric traits

    Open AccessYi-Jun Ge, Yi‐Jun Ge et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2023References: 109

    The cerebral ventricles are recognized as windows into brain development and disease, yet their genetic architectures, underlying neural mechanisms and utility in maintaining brain health remain elusive. Here we aggregated genetic and neuroimaging data from 61,974 participants (age range, 9 to 98 years) in five cohorts to elucidate the genetic basis of ventricular morphology and examined their overlap with neuropsychiatric traits. Genome-wide ass…

  • Endocannabinoid Gene × Gene Interaction Association to Alcohol Use Disorder in Two Adolescent Cohorts

    Open AccessLaurent Elkrief, Sean Spinney et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    Genetic markers of the endocannabinoid system have been linked to a variety of addiction-related behaviors that extend beyond cannabis use. In the current study we investigate the relationship between endocannabinoid (eCB) genetic markers and alcohol use disorder (AUD) in European adolescents (14-18 years old) followed in the IMAGEN study ( n = 2,051) and explore replication in a cohort of North American adolescents from Canadian Saguenay Youth S…

  • Global urbanicity is associated with brain and behaviour in young people

    Open AccessJiayuan Xu, Xiaoxuan Liu et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2021Cited by: 1References: 56

    Urbanicity is a growing environmental challenge for mental health. Here, we investigate correlations of urbanicity with brain structure and function, neuropsychology and mental illness symptoms in young people from China and Europe (total n = 3,867). We developed a remote-sensing satellite measure (UrbanSat) to quantify population density at any point on Earth. UrbanSat estimates of urbanicity were correlated with brain volume, cortical surface a…

  • Neurobehavioural characterisation and stratification of reinforcement-related behaviour

  • Identification of neurobehavioural symptom groups based on shared brain mechanisms

  • New alcohol-related genes suggest shared genetic mechanisms with neuropsychiatric disorders

    Open AccessE Evangelou, He Gao et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2019References: 85

    Excessive alcohol consumption is one of the main causes of death and disability worldwide. Alcohol consumption is a heritable complex trait. We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of gram/day (g/d) alcohol consumption in UK-Biobank, AlcGen and CHARGE+ consortia accumulating 480,842 people of European descent to decipher the genetic architecture of alcohol intake. We identified 46 novel, common loci, and investigate…
