GRPa-PRS: A risk stratification method to identify genetically-regulated pathways in polygenic diseases. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Polygenic risk score (PRS) assesses genetic risk for diseases, yet some high‐risk individuals avoid illness while low‐risk individuals develop it. We hypothesize that unknown counterfactors may reverse PRS predictions, offering insights into disease mechanisms and interventions.

Computational Modelling of Novelty Detection in the Mismatch Negativity Protocols and Its Impairments in Schizophrenia. [PDF]
The mechanisms of novelty detection in the mismatch negativity (MMN) protocol and its disturbances in schizophrenia (SCZ) remain unclear. Here, we developed an integrate‐and‐fire (IAF) spiking neuronal network model to detect multiple types of auditory novelty.

Neuroticism and posttraumatic stress disorder: A Mendelian randomization analysis. [PDF]
This study employs Mendelian randomization to demonstrate that neuroticism subclusters (worry, SESA, and depressed affect) influence the risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The analysis identifies anorexia nervosa (AN) and panic disorder (PD) as mediating factors, illustrating the complex pathways through which neuroticism ...
