...well, with such a great team representing https://t.co/VeVM9X0MQf @LMU_Uniklinikum at #WCPG2024 @ISPGnet #Singapore, no need for the guy who doesn't actually do the work, i.e. me 😉, to be present😅. Thanks for your amazing productivity over the past year: tenacity & scientific excellence at display. Enjoy the meeting!

[Nora Strom @no_strom]

It was a pleasure to present today at @WCPG2024! in Singapore. Thanks to everyone who came by and for all the great discussions!

After a long time being locked out of my Twitter/X account, this is a good day to be back!

🧠⚡️“Oops“! Do brain signals after errors reflect our negative feelings towards them? Our new paper with @FJueres (shared 1st author🤝), Norbert Kathmann & @JKlawohn examines this link, attempting to shed light on OCD's neurocognitive underpinnings: https://t.co/CP12bzch52 🧵 1/

Thanks a lot to all co-authors @cessnaslippers, @christieLburton, @conrad_iyegbe, @lilit_antonyan_, @immaqua, @christianruck, @MataixCols, @DorretB & many more! 8/8

Checkout our new preprint of a GWAS study of self- and parent-reported obsessive-compulsive symtoms (OCS) in ~34k EUR individuals from 7 population-based (twin-)cohorts. https://t.co/mwf2mRQw5N 1/8

[Nora Strom @no_strom]

Nevertheless, the sample size is still relatively small for estimating SNP-heritability and detecting specific significant markers (factoring in the high amount of individuals with zero symptoms & amount of twins included). Read the full paper for more details! 7/8

@cessnaslippers @AbiterKuile @thaliaeley @ChristelMiddeld @jorsmo @zac_gerring At least the Alps are beautiful to look at... Looking forward to meeting you in person!

[Nora Strom @no_strom]

After my flight got cancelled last minute, it's now a 13 hour trainride to Florence for me. Very excited to meet everyone at my first in-person #WCPG2022!

Get ready for some ANX and OCD talks on Wed. (@AbiterKuile, @thaliaeley, @ChristelMiddeld, @jorsmo) and Sat. (@zac_gerring).

[Nora Strom @no_strom]

@zac_gerring @AbiterKuile @thaliaeley @ChristelMiddeld @jorsmo Thanks & me too! At least it's still shorter than your trip :)

[Nora Strom @no_strom]

This work was done in a great team including @cessnaslippers, @MataixCols, @conrad_iyegbe, @immaqua, @christieLburton, @christianruck, @DorretB & Many twitterless others. Thanks to everyone involved!

[Nora Strom @no_strom]

Excited to share our new preprint: GWAS of Hoarding Symptoms (HS) in >27,000 individuals in the general population, including EUR-ancestry cohorts from the Swedish Twin Registry, the Netherlands Twin Register, TwinsUK & Spit for Science.

A few spotlights:

[Nora Strom @no_strom]

As it is widely believed that the variation in HS present in the general population is clinically relevant for HD when symptoms reach the extreme end of the spectrum, the study of HS in the population may currently be the only feasible approach to understand the genetics of HD.
