BIG BEAR Consortium

We are a multi-disciplinary group dedicated to analyzing existing data from brain imaging, genetics, and behavioral outcomes using shared resources.

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" -https://t.co/uTlLy4nNJH

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: 🤰https://t.co/Qv11yjDNoD (🧵, 1/8)

Both nature and nurture contribute to signatures of socioeconomic status in the brain. Beautiful @Penn_Today coverage of our new paper https://t.co/Wl7UcBCMpF

The BIG BEAR is excited for a new paper, coming up in @ScienceAdvances tomorrow!

Get ready for #mri #genetics and #behavior data from 40K ppl, all in one!

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.

Preceived #isolation is linked to the #defaultnetwork in a large-scale genetically-informed population study of 40,000 @uk_biobank participants.

[Danilo Bzdok @danilobzdok]

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
