• Associations between brain imaging and polygenic scores of mental health and educational attainment in children aged 9–11 

      Fernandez-Cabello, Sara; Alnæs, Dag; van der Meer, Dennis; Dahl, Andreas; Holm, Madelene Christin; Kjelkenes, Rikka; Maximov, Ivan; Norbom, Linn Christin Bonaventure; Pedersen, Mads Lund; Voldsbekk, Irene; Andreassen, Ole; Westlye, Lars Tjelta (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Psychiatric disorders are highly heritable and polygenic, and many have their peak onset in late childhood and adolescence, a period of tremendous changes. Although the neurodevelopmental antecedents of mental illness are ...
    • Cardiometabolic risk factors associated with brain age and accelerate brain ageing 

      Beck, Dani; de Lange, Ann-Marie G.; Pedersen, Mads L.; Alnæs, Dag; Maximov, Ivan; Voldsbekk, Irene; Richard, Geneviève; Sanders, Anne-Marthe; Ulrichsen, Kristine Moe; Dørum, Erlend Solberg; Kolskår, Knut-Kristian; Høgestøl, Einar August; Steen, Nils Eiel; Djurovic, Srdjan; Andreassen, Ole; Nordvik, Jan E.; Kaufmann, Tobias; Westlye, Lars Tjelta (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The structure and integrity of the ageing brain is interchangeably linked to physical health, and cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRs) are associated with dementia and other brain disorders. In this mixed cross-sectional ...
    • Evidence for widespread alterations in cortical microstructure after 32 h of sleep deprivation 

      Voldsbekk, Irene; Bjørnerud, Atle; Groote, Inge Rasmus; Zak, Nathalia; Roelfs, Daniël; Maximov, Ivan; Geier, Oliver; Due-Tønnessen, Paulina; Bøen, Erlend; Kuiper, Yvonne S.; Løkken, Lise Linn; Strømstad, Marie; Blakstvedt, Taran Youssefian; Bjorvatn, Bjørn; Malt, Ulrik Fredrik; Westlye, Lars Tjelta; Elvsåshagen, Torbjørn; Grydeland, Håkon (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Cortical microstructure is influenced by circadian rhythm and sleep deprivation, yet the precise underpinnings of these effects remain unclear. The ratio between T1-weighted and T2-weighted magnetic resonance images (T1w/T2w ...
    • A history of previous childbirths is linked to women's white matter brain age in midlife and older age 

      Voldsbekk, Irene; Barth, Claudia; Maximov, Ivan I.; Kaufmann, Tobias; Beck, Dani; Richard, Genevive; Moberget, Torgeir; Westlye, Lars T.; de Lange, Ann-Marie G. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Maternal brain adaptations occur in response to pregnancy, but little is known about how parity impacts white matter and white matter ageing trajectories later in life. Utilising global and regional brain age prediction ...
    • Sex- and age-specific associations between cardiometabolic risk and white matter brain age in the UK Biobank cohort 

      Subramaniapillai, Sivaniya; Suri, Sana; Barth, Claudia; Maximov, Ivan; Voldsbekk, Irene; van der Meer, Dennis; Gurholt, Tiril Pedersen; Beck, Dani; Draganski, Bogdan; Andreassen, Ole; Ebmeier, Klaus P; Westlye, Lars Tjelta; de Lange, Ann-Marie Glasø (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Cardiometabolic risk (CMR) factors are associated with accelerated brain aging and increased risk for sex-dimorphic illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Yet, it is unknown how CMRs interact with sex and apolipoprotein ...
    • Sleep and sleep deprivation differentially alter white matter microstructure: A mixed model design utilising advanced diffusion modelling 

      Voldsbekk, Irene; Groote, Inge Rasmus; Zak, Nathalia; Roelfs, Daniël Thomas Heimen; Geier, Oliver; Due-Tønnessen, Paulina; Løkken, Lise Linn; Strømstad, Marie; Blakstvedt, Taran Y; Kuiper, Yvonne S; Elvsåshagen, Torbjørn; Westlye, Lars Tjelta; Bjørnerud, Atle; Maximov, Ivan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Sleep deprivation influences several critical functions, yet how it affects human brain white matter (WM) is not well understood. The aim of the present work was to investigate the effect of 32 hours of sleep deprivation ...
