Abnormalities in CC are genetically tied to ADHD and bipolar disorder. Smaller CC area shares allelic risk with ADHD, and thinner CC with bipolar disorder. Local effects on 17q21.31 link genu morphology to neuroticism and Parkinson’s via stress- and tau-related pathways.

Mediation analyses revealed precuneus thickness mediated the relationship between chronic multisite pain and history of a suicide attempt, while the amygdala volume showed the strongest effect for a local pain site, and was specific to individuals with chronic abdominal pain.
