TL;DR: The test-retest reliability of brain graphs calculated from 26 healthy participants with three established fMRI experiments and two parcellation schemes for node definition are studied to inform the choice of processing strategies, brain atlases and outcome properties for fMRI studies using active tasks, graph theory methods and within-subject designs.

TL;DR: It is discovered that increased neural connectivity in the cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuitry predicts psychosis in those at high risk, and is present in people with schizophrenia.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that excessive temporal variations of brain FC, reflecting abnormal communications between large-scale bran networks over time, may underlie the neuropathology of MDD.

TL;DR: Brain expressed protocadherin 17 (PCDH17) is revealed as a susceptibility gene for major mood disorders involved in synaptic function and related intermediate phenotypes.

TL;DR: The results indicate that altered connectivity in a visual-limbic subnetwork during emotional face processing may be a functional connectomic intermediate phenotype for schizophrenia and the phenotype is reliable, task specific, related to trait anxiety, and associated with manifest illness.
