Genomic architecture of human neuroanatomical diversity (2014)
Journal Article
Toro, R., Poline, J., Huguet, G., Loth, E., Frouin, V., Banaschewski, T., …Bourgeron, T. (2015). Genomic architecture of human neuroanatomical diversity. Molecular Psychiatry, 20(8), 1011-1016. https://doi.org/10.1038/mp.2014.99

Human brain anatomy is strikingly diverse and highly inheritable: genetic factors may explain up to 80% of its variability. Prior studies have tried to detect genetic variants with a large effect on neuroanatomical diversity, but those currently iden...

Neuropsychosocial profiles of current and future adolescent alcohol misusers (2014)
Journal Article
Whelan, R., Watts, R., Orr, C. A., Althoff, R. R., Artiges, E., Banaschewski, T., …Ziesch, V. (2014). Neuropsychosocial profiles of current and future adolescent alcohol misusers. Nature, 512(7513), 185-189. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature13402

A comprehensive account of the causes of alcohol misuse must accommodate individual differences in biology, psychology and environment, and must disentangle cause and effect. Animal models can demonstrate the effects of neurotoxic substances; however... Read More about Neuropsychosocial profiles of current and future adolescent alcohol misusers.

SPACA3gene variants in a New Zealand cohort of infertile and fertile couples (2014)
Journal Article
Prendergast, D., Woad, K. J., Chamley, L. W., Holland, O. J., & Shelling, A. N. (2014). SPACA3gene variants in a New Zealand cohort of infertile and fertile couples. Human Fertility, 17(2), https://doi.org/10.3109/14647273.2014.907506

SPRASA (also referred to as SLLP1) is a protein identified in the acrosome of human sperm and encoded by the gene SPACA3. SPRASA is associated with sperm-oocyte recognition and binding, and may play a role in fertility. In order to determine whether...

Fast to Forgive, Slow to Retaliate: Intuitive Responses in the Ultimatum Game Depend on the Degree of Unfairness (2014)
Journal Article
Ferguson, E., Lawrence, C., Bibby, P., & Maltby, J. (2014). Fast to Forgive, Slow to Retaliate: Intuitive Responses in the Ultimatum Game Depend on the Degree of Unfairness. PLoS ONE, 9(5), Article e96344. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0096344

Evolutionary accounts have difficulty explaining why people cooperate with anonymous strangers they will never meet. Recently models, focusing on emotional processing, have been proposed as a potential explanation, with attention focusing on a dual s...

Single nucleotide polymorphism in the neuroplastin locus associates with cortical thickness and intellectual ability in adolescents (2014)
Journal Article
Desrivières, S., the IMAGEN Consortium, Lourdusamy, A., Tao, C., Toro, R., Jia, T., …Schumann, G. (2015). Single nucleotide polymorphism in the neuroplastin locus associates with cortical thickness and intellectual ability in adolescents. Molecular Psychiatry, 20(2), 263-274. https://doi.org/10.1038/mp.2013.197

Despite the recognition that cortical thickness is heritable and correlates with intellectual ability in children and adolescents, the genes contributing to individual differences in these traits remain unknown. We conducted a large-scale association... Read More about Single nucleotide polymorphism in the neuroplastin locus associates with cortical thickness and intellectual ability in adolescents.
