🚨 New Research Alert! 🚨
Polyconnectomic scoring of functional connectivity patterns across eight neuropsychiatric and three neurodegenerative disorders
doi.org/10.1016/j.biopsych.2…
Can we use the entire connectome to learn more about brain disorders?

Hello! Our new study where we investigated how genetic variants shape the functional wiring of our brains using UKB was just published.
🧵 Here are our main takeaways! (1/5) 🧵

When do machine learning models actually outperform standard polygenic scores? 🤔
In our new preprint, we benchmark how non-additive genetic effects (i.e, dominance deviations) shape polygenic prediction across simulated and UK Biobank traits.

Hey!!
Rachel Brouwer, Martijn van de Heuvel and I wrote a book chapter on the genetics of neuroanatomy. We discuss twin literature on heritability of brain structural traits, followed by a discussion on GWAS findings

6/ We’ve made available the scripts to compute PCS using MATLAB, R, and Python, along with a repository of meta-analytical CSS maps for 11 brain disorders, all mapped using 25 different cortical parcellation schemes. Now everyone can compute PCS on their own data!
