JMIR Ment Health. 2026 Jun 22;13:e84424. doi: 10.2196/84424. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Functional impairments associated with mental health conditions are on the rise. Predicting functional outcomes may improve the targeting of preventive interventions. While prognostic models have primarily focused on psychosis, early recognition services require a transdiagnostic approach. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to predict global functioning within a 2-year follow-up using baseline clinical and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data in a population-based sample of young, help-seeking individuals presenting with affective and anxiety symptoms as well as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. METHODS: We classified 357 help-seeking individuals aged 18-35 years recruited […]

Childhood maltreatment is linked to transdiagnostic age- and sex-specific cortical thinning and reduced amygdalar volume in young adults
Eur Neuropsychopharmacol. 2026 Jun 9;112:112900. doi: 10.1016/j.euroneuro.2026.112900. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Childhood maltreatment is a transdiagnostic risk factor, whose distributed neural correlates are most timely and urgently assessed in young adults in the earliest stages of emerging mental disorders. Here, we applied a data-driven multivariate approach to identify distributed brain structural signatures associated with childhood maltreatment, with a particular focus on limbic regions, and to examine their relevance for later functional outcomes. In a transdiagnostic sample of 251 individuals (mean age 24.9 ± 4.3, 51.8% male) with early affective or anxiety syndromes, we used a multivariate sparse […]

Behind the Scenes: MRI Coil Replacement
We would like to share that a coil replacement on our MRI scanner has been completed as part of our ongoing efforts to maintain reliable imaging capabilities. In MRI systems, coils are essential components that help generate high-quality images by receiving radiofrequency signals during scans. Occasionally, coils are exchanged to ensure consistent system performance and imaging reliability. This replacement ensures that our MRI system continues to serve our research and collaborative work with the quality and dependability expected in advanced imaging. We sincerely thank everyone involved in planning and carrying out this process!
Out with the Old, In with the Sandwiches
A quick look at the pile of sorted-out furniture says it all: we recently gave our office a much-needed tidy-up. Once the hard work was done, we refueled with homemade sandwiches and enjoyed a relaxed break together – proof that productivity and good food go hand in hand.
From Delivery to Discovery
It’s been just over two years since our new MR scanner arrived. In that time, it’s helped us uncover countless insights – most intriguingly, the secret life of gradient coils.
Welcome to the new news
We noticed that news sections on many academic websites often become outdated. Our own site was no exception, so we decided to remove all old posts – making the three-year gap invisible. Now, we’re excited to start fresh with a completely renewed news section, bringing you up-to-date stories, updates, and highlights from our work.
