Happy to share a new publication of the BIG BEAR :)
We analyzed genetic, behavioral and brain imaging data from over ~300k participants in the #UKBiobank to study how #risky behavior across domains and its genetic underpinnings relate to #brain anatomy

Very nice work!
Really proud to share a paper that I have been working on for the last year. In *Inheritance of fields of study*, I ask how university fields of study are passed on from one generation to the next.

Is individual difference research focused on brain-behavior relationships and biomarkers missing the elephant in the room? Check out - "Suboptimal phenotypic reliability impedes reproducible human neuroscience" -biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our new paper, out now in JAMA Psychiatry, shows the importance of considering genetic confounding when exploring the association between pregnancy variables and neurodevelopmental conditions in offspring: 🤰doi.org/10.1001/jamapsychiat… (🧵, 1/8)

.@BigBearResearch suggests that poverty and low socioeconomic status play a larger role than suspected in impacting brain volume and #cognition. @AANMember #neurotwitter bit.ly/3aVN9gV
Both nature and nurture contribute to signatures of socioeconomic status in the brain. Beautiful @Penn_Today coverage of our new paper bit.ly/3ucU3nF

A team of researchers recently analyzed the connection between genes linked to alcohol consumption and cardiovascular conditions and found that drinking — any amount — was associated with an increased risk of disease.

The world needs more official pictures like @KordingLab.
Konrad Kording, Nathan Francis Mossell University Professor in Bioengineering, Neuroscience and @CIS_Penn, will start as Co-Director of the @CIFAR_News Program in Learning in Machines & Brains on April 1st.

Preceived #isolation is linked to the #defaultnetwork in a large-scale genetically-informed population study of 40,000 @uk_biobank participants.
Our contribution to #COVID19 research:
In 40,000 @uk_biobank participants,
we provide population-scale evidence that
experiencing #social #isolation is linked to the #defaultnetwork
