Item Collaborative meta-analysis finds no evidence of a strong interaction between stress and 5-HTTLPR genotype contributing to the development of depression(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-01) Culverhouse, Robert C.; Saccone, Nancy L.; Horton, Amy C.; Ma, Yinjiao; Anstey, Kaarin J.; Banaschewski, Tobias; Burmeister, Margit; Cohen-Woods, Sarah; Etain, Bruno; Fisher, Helen L.; Goldman, Noreen; Guillaume, Sébastien; Horwood, John; Juhasz, Gabriella; Lester, Kathryn J.; Mandelli, Laura; Middeldorp, Christel M.; Olié, Emilie; Villafuerte, Sandra; Air, Tracy M.; Araya, Ricardo; Bowes, Lucy; Burns, Richard; Byrne, Enda M.; Coffey, Carolyn; Coventry, William L.; Gawronski, Katerina; Glei, Dana; Hatzimanolis, Alex; Hottenga, Jouke-Jan; Jaussent, Isabelle; Jawahar, Catharine; Jennen-Steinmetz, Christine; Kramer, John R.; Lajnef, Mohamed; Little, Keriann; zu Schwabedissen, Henriette Meyer; Nauck, Matthias; Nederhof, Esther; Petschner, Peter; Peyrot, Wouter J.; Schwahn, Christian; Sinnamon, Grant; Stacey, David; Tian, Yan; Toben, Catherine; Auwera, Sandra Van der; Wainwright, Nick; Wang, Jen-Chyong; Willemsen, Gonneke; Anderson, Ian M.; Arolt, Volker; Åslund, Cecilia; Bagdy, Gyorgy; Baune, Bernhard T.; Bellivier, Frank; Boomsma, Dorret I.; Courtet, Philippe; Dannlowski, Udo; de Geus, Eco J.C.; Deakin, John F.

Multiple meta-analyses combining results from heterogeneous analyses have not settled the issue. To determine the magnitude of the interaction and the conditions under which it might be observed, we performed new analyses on 31 datasets containing 38 802 European-ancestry subjects genotyped for 5-HTTLPR and assessed for depression and childhood maltreatment or other stressful life events, and meta-analyzed the results. Analyses targeted two stressors (narrow, broad) and two depression outcomes (current, lifetime). All groups that published on this topic prior to the initiation of our study and met the assessment and sample size criteria were invited to participate. Additional groups, identified by consortium members or self-identified in response to our protocol (published prior to the start of analysis1) with qualifying unpublished data were also invited to participate. A uniform data analysis script implementing the protocol was executed by each of the consortium members. Our findings do not support the interaction hypothesis. We found no subgroups or variable definitions for which an interaction between stress and 5-HTTLPR genotype was statistically significant. In contrast, our findings for the main effects of life stressors (strong risk factor) and 5-HTTLPR genotype (no impact on risk) are strikingly consistent across our contributing studies, the original study reporting the interaction, and subsequent meta-analyses. Our conclusion is that if an interaction exists in which the S allele of 5-HTTLPR increases risk of depression only in stressed individuals, then it is not broadly generalizable, but must be of modest effect size and only observable in limited situations.Item Cortical thickness across the lifespan: Data from 17,075 healthy individuals aged 3-90 years(Wiley, 2022-01) Frangou, Sophia; Modabbernia, Amirhossein; Williams, Steven C.R.; Papachristou, Efstathios; Doucet, Gaelle E.; Agartz, Ingrid; Aghajani, Moji; Akudjedu, Theophilus N.; Albajes-Eizagirre, Anton; Alnæs, Dag; Alpert, Kathryn I.; Andersson, Micael; Andreasen, Nancy C.; Andreassen, Ole A.; Asherson, Philip; Banaschewski, Tobias; Bargallo, Nuria; Baumeister, Sarah; Baur-Streubel, Ramona; Bertolino, Alessandro; Bonvino, Aurora; Boomsma, Dorret I.; Borgwardt, Stefan; Bourque, Josiane; Brandeis, Daniel; Breier, Alan; Brodaty, Henry; Brouwer, Rachel M.; Buitelaar, Jan K.; Busatto, Geraldo F.; Buckner, Randy L.; Calhoun, Vincent; Canales-Rodríguez, Erick J.; Cannon, Dara M.; Caseras, Xavier; Castellanos, Francisco X.; Cervenka, Simon; Chaim-Avancini, Tiffany M.; Ching, Christopher R.K.; Chubar, Victoria; Clark, Vincent P.; Conrod, Patricia; Conzelmann, Annette; Crespo-Facorro, Benedicto; Crivello, Fabrice; Crone, Eveline A.; Dale, Anders M.; Dannlowski, Udo; Davey, Christopher; de Geus, Eco J.C.; de Haan, Lieuwe; de Zubicaray, Greig I.; den Braber, Anouk; Dickie, Erin W.; Di Giorgio, Annabella; Doan, Nhat Trung; Dørum, Erlend S.; Ehrlich, Stefan; Erk, Susanne; Espeseth, Thomas; Fatouros-Bergman, Helena; Fisher, Simon E.; Fouche, Jean-Paul; Franke, Barbara; Frodl, Thomas; Fuentes-Claramonte, Paola; Glahn, David C.; Gotlib, Ian H.; Grabe, Hans-Jörgen; Grimm, Oliver; Groenewold, Nynke A.; Grotegerd, Dominik; Gruber, Oliver; Gruner, Patricia; Gur, Rachel E.; Gur, Ruben C.; Hahn, Tim; Harrison, Ben J.; Hartman, Catharine A.; Hatton, Sean N.; Heinz, Andreas; Heslenfeld, Dirk J.; Hibar, Derrek P.; Hickie, Ian B.; Ho, Beng-Choon; Hoekstra, Pieter J.; Hohmann, Sarah; Holmes, Avram J.; Hoogman, Martine; Hosten, Norbert; Howells, Fleur M.; Hulshoff Pol, Hilleke E.; Huyser, Chaim; Jahanshad, Neda; James, Anthony; Jernigan, Terry L.; Jiang, Jiyang; Jönsson, Erik G.; Joska, John A.; Kahn, Rene; Kalnin, Andrew; Kanai, Ryota; Klein, Marieke; Klyushnik, Tatyana P.; Koenders, Laura; Koops, Sanne; Krämer, Bernd; Kuntsi, Jonna; Lagopoulos, Jim; Lázaro, Luisa; Lebedeva, Irina; Lee, Won Hee; Lesch, Klaus-Peter; Lochner, Christine; Machielsen, Marise W.J.; Maingault, Sophie; Martin, Nicholas G.; Martínez-Zalacaín, Ignacio; Mataix-Cols, David; Mazoyer, Bernard; McDonald, Colm; McDonald, Brenna C.; McIntosh, Andrew M.; McMahon, Katie L.; McPhilemy, Genevieve; Meinert, Susanne; Menchón, José M.; Medland, Sarah E.; Meyer-Lindenberg, Andreas; Naaijen, Jilly; Najt, Pablo; Nakao, Tomohiro; Nordvik, Jan E.; Nyberg, Lars; Oosterlaan, Jaap; Ortiz-García de la Foz, Víctor; Paloyelis, Yannis; Pauli, Paul; Pergola, Giulio; Pomarol-Clotet, Edith; Portella, Maria J.; Potkin, Steven G.; Radua, Joaquim; Reif, Andreas; Rinker, Daniel A.; Roffman, Joshua L.; Rosa, Pedro G.P.; Sacchet, Matthew D.; Sachdev, Perminder S.; Salvador, Raymond; Sánchez-Juan, Pascual; Sarró, Salvador; Satterthwaite, Theodore D.; Saykin, Andrew J.; Serpa, Mauricio H.; Schmaal, Lianne; Schnell, Knut; Schumann, Gunter; Sim, Kang; Smoller, Jordan W.; Sommer, Iris; Soriano-Mas, Carles; Stein, Dan J.; Strike, Lachlan T.; Swagerman, Suzanne C.; Tamnes, Christian K.; Temmingh, Henk S.; Thomopoulos, Sophia I.; Tomyshev, Alexander S.; Tordesillas-Gutiérrez, Diana; Trollor, Julian N.; Turner, Jessica A.; Uhlmann, Anne; van den Heuvel, Odile A.; van den Meer, Dennis; van der Wee, Nic J.A.; van Haren, Neeltje E.M.; van't Ent, Dennis; van Erp, Theo G.M.; Veer, Ilya M.; Veltman, Dick J.; Voineskos, Aristotle; Völzke, Henry; Walter, Henrik; Walton, Esther; Wang, Lei; Wang, Yang; Wassink, Thomas H.; Weber, Bernd; Wen, Wei; West, John D.; Westlye, Lars T.; Whalley, Heather; Wierenga, Lara M.; Wittfeld, Katharina; Wolf, Daniel H.; Worker, Amanda; Wright, Margaret J.; Yang, Kun; Yoncheva, Yulyia; Zanetti, Marcus V.; Ziegler, Georg C.; Karolinska Schizophrenia Project (KaSP); Thompson, Paul M.; Dima, Danai; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of MedicineDelineating the association of age and cortical thickness in healthy individuals is critical given the association of cortical thickness with cognition and behavior. Previous research has shown that robust estimates of the association between age and brain morphometry require large-scale studies. In response, we used cross-sectional data from 17,075 individuals aged 3-90 years from the Enhancing Neuroimaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) Consortium to infer age-related changes in cortical thickness. We used fractional polynomial (FP) regression to quantify the association between age and cortical thickness, and we computed normalized growth centiles using the parametric Lambda, Mu, and Sigma method. Interindividual variability was estimated using meta-analysis and one-way analysis of variance. For most regions, their highest cortical thickness value was observed in childhood. Age and cortical thickness showed a negative association; the slope was steeper up to the third decade of life and more gradual thereafter; notable exceptions to this general pattern were entorhinal, temporopolar, and anterior cingulate cortices. Interindividual variability was largest in temporal and frontal regions across the lifespan. Age and its FP combinations explained up to 59% variance in cortical thickness. These results may form the basis of further investigation on normative deviation in cortical thickness and its significance for behavioral and cognitive outcomes.Item Epigenome-wide meta-analysis of blood DNA methylation and its association with subcortical volumes: findings from the ENIGMA Epigenetics Working Group(Springer Nature, 2021) Jia, Tianye; Chu, Congying; Liu, Yun; Van Dongen, Jenny; Papastergios, Evangelos; Armstrong, Nicola J.; Bastin, Mark E.; Carrillo-Roa, Tania; den Braber, Anouk; Harris, Mathew; Jansen, Rick; Liu, Jingyu; Luciano, Michelle; Ori, Anil P.S.; Santiañez, Roberto Roiz; Ruggeri, Barbara; Sarkisyan, Daniil; Shin, Jean; Sungeun, Kim; Tordesillas Gutiérrez, Diana; van't Ent, Dennis; Ames, David; Artiges, Eric; Bakalkin, Georgy; Banaschewski, Tobias; Bokde, Arun L.W.; Brodaty, Henry; Bromberg, Uli; Brouwer, Rachel; Büchel, Christian; Burke Quinlan, Erin; Cahn, Wiepke; de Zubicaray, Greig I.; Ehrlich, Stefan; Ekström, Tomas J.; Flor, Herta; Fröhner, Juliane H.; Frouin, Vincent; Garavan, Hugh; Gowland, Penny; Heinz, Andreas; Hoare, Jacqueline; Ittermann, Bernd; Jahanshad, Neda; Jiang, Jiyang; Kwok, John B.; Martin, Nicholas G.; Martinot, Jean-Luc; Mather, Karen A.; McMahon, Katie L.; McRae, Allan F.; Nees, Frauke; Orfanos, Dimitri Papadopoulos; Paus, Tomáš; Poustka, Luise; Sämann, Philipp G.; Schofield, Peter R.; Smolka, Michael N.; Stein, Dan J.; Strike, Lachlan T.; Teeuw, Jalmar; Thalamuthu, Anbupalam; Trollor, Julian; Walter, Henrik; Wardlaw, Joanna M.; Wen, Wei; Whelan, Robert; Apostolova, Liana G.; Binder, Elisabeth B.; Boomsma, Dorret I.; Calhoun, Vince; Crespo-Facorro, Benedicto; Deary, Ian J.; Hulshoff Pol, Hilleke; Ophoff, Roel A.; Pausova, Zdenka; Sachdev, Perminder S.; Saykin, Andrew; Wright, Margaret J.; Thompson, Paul M.; Schumann, Gunter; Desrivières, Sylvane; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of MedicineDNA methylation, which is modulated by both genetic factors and environmental exposures, may offer a unique opportunity to discover novel biomarkers of disease-related brain phenotypes, even when measured in other tissues than brain, such as blood. A few studies of small sample sizes have revealed associations between blood DNA methylation and neuropsychopathology, however, large-scale epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) are needed to investigate the utility of DNA methylation profiling as a peripheral marker for the brain. Here, in an analysis of eleven international cohorts, totalling 3337 individuals, we report epigenome-wide meta-analyses of blood DNA methylation with volumes of the hippocampus, thalamus and nucleus accumbens (NAcc)—three subcortical regions selected for their associations with disease and heritability and volumetric variability. Analyses of individual CpGs revealed genome-wide significant associations with hippocampal volume at two loci. No significant associations were found for analyses of thalamus and nucleus accumbens volumes. Cluster-based analyses revealed additional differentially methylated regions (DMRs) associated with hippocampal volume. DNA methylation at these loci affected expression of proximal genes involved in learning and memory, stem cell maintenance and differentiation, fatty acid metabolism and type-2 diabetes. These DNA methylation marks, their interaction with genetic variants and their impact on gene expression offer new insights into the relationship between epigenetic variation and brain structure and may provide the basis for biomarker discovery in neurodegeneration and neuropsychiatric conditions.Item Greater male than female variability in regional brain structure across the lifespan(Wiley, 2021) Wierenga, Lara M.; Doucet, Gaelle E.; Dima, Danai; Agartz, Ingrid; Aghajani, Moji; Akudjedu, Theophilus N.; Albajes‐Eizagirre, Anton; Alnæs, Dag; Alpert, Kathryn I.; Andreassen, Ole A.; Anticevic, Alan; Asherson, Philip; Banaschewski, Tobias; Bargallo, Nuria; Baumeister, Sarah; Baur‐Streubel, Ramona; Bertolino, Alessandro; Bonvino, Aurora; Boomsma, Dorret I.; Borgwardt, Stefan; Bourque, Josiane; Braber, Anouk; Brandeis, Daniel; Breier, Alan; Brodaty, Henry; Brouwer, Rachel M.; Buitelaar, Jan K.; Busatto, Geraldo F.; Calhoun, Vince D.; Canales‐Rodríguez, Erick J.; Cannon, Dara M.; Caseras, Xavier; Castellanos, Francisco X.; Chaim‐Avancini, Tiffany M.; Ching, Christopher R.

Here, the ENIGMA (Enhancing Neuro Imaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis) Consortium presents the largest-ever mega-analysis of sex differences in variability of brain structure, based on international data spanning nine decades of life. Subcortical volumes, cortical surface area and cortical thickness were assessed in MRI data of 16,683 healthy individuals 1-90 years old (47% females). We observed significant patterns of greater male than female between-subject variance for all subcortical volumetric measures, all cortical surface area measures, and 60% of cortical thickness measures. This pattern was stable across the lifespan for 50% of the subcortical structures, 70% of the regional area measures, and nearly all regions for thickness. Our findings that these sex differences are present in childhood implicate early life genetic or gene-environment interaction mechanisms. The findings highlight the importance of individual differences within the sexes, that may underpin sex-specific vulnerability to disorders.Item Normative Modeling of Brain Morphometry Across the Lifespan Using CentileBrain: Algorithm Benchmarking and Model Optimization(bioRxiv, 2023-12-02) Ge, Ruiyang; Yu, Yuetong; Qi, Yi Xuan; Fan, Yunan Vera; Chen, Shiyu; Gao, Chuntong; Haas, Shalaila S.; Modabbernia, Amirhossein; New, Faye; Agartz, Ingrid; Asherson, Philip; Ayesa-Arriola, Rosa; Banaj, Nerisa; Banaschewski, Tobias; Baumeister, Sarah; Bertolino, Alessandro; Boomsma, Dorret I.; Borgwardt, Stefan; Bourque, Josiane; Brandeis, Daniel; Breier, Alan; Brodaty, Henry; Brouwer, Rachel M.; Buckner, Randy; Buitelaar, Jan K.; Cannon, Dara M.; Caseras, Xavier; Cervenka, Simon; Conrod, Patricia J.; Crespo-Facorro, Benedicto; Crivello, Fabrice; Crone, Eveline A.; de Haan, Liewe; de Zubicaray, Greig I.; Di Giorgio, Annabella; Erk, Susanne; Fisher, Simon E.; Franke, Barbara; Frodl, Thomas; Glahn, David C.; Grotegerd, Dominik; Gruber, Oliver; Gruner, Patricia; Gur, Raquel E.; Gur, Ruben C.; Harrison, Ben J.; Hatton, Sean N.; Hickie, Ian; Howells, Fleur M.; Hulshoff Pol, Hilleke E.; Huyser, Chaim; Jernigan, Terry L.; Jiang, Jiyang; Joska, John A.; Kahn, René S.; Kalnin, Andrew J.; Kochan, Nicole A.; Koops, Sanne; Kuntsi, Jonna; Lagopoulos, Jim; Lazaro, Luisa; Lebedeva, Irina S.; Lochner, Christine; Martin, Nicholas G.; Mazoyer, Bernard; McDonald, Brenna C.; McDonald, Colm; McMahon, Katie L.; Nakao, Tomohiro; Nyberg, Lars; Piras, Fabrizio; Portella, Maria J.; Qiu, Jiang; Roffman, Joshua L.; Sachdev, Perminder S.; Sanford, Nicole; Satterthwaite, Theodore D.; Saykin, Andrew J.; Schumann, Gunter; Sellgren, Carl M.; Sim, Kang; Smoller, Jordan W.; Soares, Jair; Sommer, Iris E.; Spalletta, Gianfranco; Stein, Dan J.; Tamnes, Christian K.; Thomopolous, Sophia I.; Tomyshev, Alexander S.; Tordesillas-Gutiérrez, Diana; Trollor, Julian N.; van 't Ent, Dennis; van den Heuvel, Odile A.; van Erp, Theo Gm.; van Haren, Neeltje Em.; Vecchio, Daniela; Veltman, Dick J.; Walter, Henrik; Wang, Yang; Weber, Bernd; Wei, Dongtao; Wen, Wei; Westlye, Lars T.; Wierenga, Lara M.; Williams, Steven Cr.; Wright, Margaret J.; Medland, Sarah; Wu, Mon-Ju; Yu, Kevin; Jahanshad, Neda; Thompson, Paul M.; Frangou, Sophia; Psychiatry, School of MedicineWe present an empirically benchmarked framework for sex-specific normative modeling of brain morphometry that can inform about the biological and behavioral significance of deviations from typical age-related neuroanatomical changes and support future study designs. This framework was developed using regional morphometric data from 37,407 healthy individuals (53% female; aged 3-90 years) following a comparative evaluation of eight algorithms and multiple covariate combinations pertaining to image acquisition and quality, parcellation software versions, global neuroimaging measures, and longitudinal stability. The Multivariate Factorial Polynomial Regression (MFPR) emerged as the preferred algorithm optimized using nonlinear polynomials for age and linear effects of global measures as covariates. The MFPR models showed excellent accuracy across the lifespan and within distinct age-bins, and longitudinal stability over a 2-year period. The performance of all MFPR models plateaued at sample sizes exceeding 3,000 study participants. The model and scripts described here are freely available through CentileBrain (https://centilebrain.org/).Item Subcortical volumes across the lifespan: Data from 18,605 healthy individuals aged 3–90 years(Wiley, 2022) Dima, Danai; Modabbernia, Amirhossein; Papachristou, Efstathios; Doucet, Gaelle E.; Agartz, Ingrid; Aghajani, Moji; Akudjedu, Theophilus N.; Albajes-Eizagirre, Anton; Alnæs, Dag; Alpert, Kathryn I.; Andersson, Micael; Andreasen, Nancy C.; Andreassen, Ole A.; Asherson, Philip; Banaschewski, Tobias; Bargallo, Nuria; Baumeister, Sarah; Baur-Streubel, Ramona; Bertolino, Alessandro; Bonvino, Aurora; Boomsma, Dorret I.; Borgwardt, Stefan; Bourque, Josiane; Brandeis, Daniel; Breier, Alan; Brodaty, Henry; Brouwer, Rachel M.; Buitelaar, Jan K.; Busatto, Geraldo F.; Buckner, Randy L.; Calhoun, Vincent; Canales-Rodríguez, Erick J.; Cannon, Dara M.; Caseras, Xavier; Castellanos, Francisco X.; Cervenka, Simon; Chaim-Avancini, Tiffany M.; Ching, Christopher R.K.; Chubar, Victoria; Clark, Vincent P.; Conrod, Patricia; Conzelmann, Annette; Crespo-Facorro, Benedicto; Crivello, Fabrice; Crone, Eveline A.; Dannlowski, Udo; Dale, Anders M.; Davey, Christopher; de Geus, Eco J.C.; de Haan, Lieuwe; de Zubicaray, Greig I.; den Braber, Anouk; Dickie, Erin W.; Di Giorgio, Annabella; Doan, Nhat Trung; Dørum, Erlend S.; Ehrlich, Stefan; Erk, Susanne; Espeseth, Thomas; Fatouros-Bergman, Helena; Fisher, Simon E.; Fouche, Jean-Paul; Franke, Barbara; Frodl, Thomas; Fuentes-Claramonte, Paola; Glahn, David C.; Gotlib, Ian H.; Grabe, Hans-Jörgen; Grimm, Oliver; Groenewold, Nynke A.; Grotegerd, Dominik; Gruber, Oliver; Gruner, Patricia; Gur, Rachel E.; Gur, Ruben C.; Hahn, Tim; Harrison, Ben J.; Hartman, Catharine A.; Hatton, Sean N.; Heinz, Andreas; Heslenfeld, Dirk J.; Hibar, Derrek P.; Hickie, Ian B.; Ho, Beng-Choon; Hoekstra, Pieter J.; Hohmann, Sarah; Holmes, Avram J.; Hoogman, Martine; Hosten, Norbert; Howells, Fleur M.; Hulshoff Pol, Hilleke E.; Huyser, Chaim; Jahanshad, Neda; James, Anthony; Jernigan, Terry L.; Jiang, Jiyang; Jönsson, Erik G.; Joska, John A.; Kahn, Rene; Kalnin, Andrew; Kanai, Ryota; Klein, Marieke; Klyushnik, Tatyana P.; Koenders, Laura; Koops, Sanne; Krämer, Bernd; Kuntsi, Jonna; Lagopoulos, Jim; Lázaro, Luisa; Lebedeva, Irina; Lee, Won Hee; Lesch, Klaus-Peter; Lochner, Christine; Machielsen, Marise W.J.; Maingault, Sophie; Martin, Nicholas G.; Martínez-Zalacaín, Ignacio; Mataix-Cols, David; Mazoyer, Bernard; McDonald, Colm; McDonald, Brenna C.; McIntosh, Andrew M.; McMahon, Katie L.; McPhilemy, Genevieve; Menchón, José M.; Medland, Sarah E.; Meyer-Lindenberg, Andreas; Naaijen, Jilly; Najt, Pablo; Nakao, Tomohiro; Meinert, Susanne; Nordvik, Jan E.; Nyberg, Lars; Oosterlaan, Jaap; Ortiz-García de la Foz, Víctor; Paloyelis, Yannis; Pauli, Paul; Pergola, Giulio; Pomarol-Clotet, Edith; Portella, Maria J.; Potkin, Steven G.; Radua, Joaquim; Reif, Andreas; Rinker, Daniel A.; Roffman, Joshua L.; Rosa, Pedro G.P.; Sacchet, Matthew D.; Sachdev, Perminder S.; Salvador, Raymond; Sánchez-Juan, Pascual; Sarró, Salvador; Satterthwaite, Theodore D.; Saykin, Andrew J.; Serpa, Mauricio H.; Schmaal, Lianne; Schnell, Knut; Schumann, Gunter; Sim, Kang; Smoller, Jordan W.; Sommer, Iris; Soriano-Mas, Carles; Stein, Dan J.; Strike, Lachlan T.; Swagerman, Suzanne C.; Tamnes, Christian K.; Temmingh, Henk S.; Thomopoulos, Sophia I.; Tomyshev, Alexander S.; Tordesillas-Gutiérrez, Diana; Trollor, Julian N.; Turner, Jessica A.; Uhlmann, Anne; van den Heuvel, Odile A.; van den Meer, Dennis; van der Wee, Nic J.A.; van Haren, Neeltje E.M.; van't Ent, Dennis; van Erp, Theo G.M.; Veer, Ilya M.; Veltman, Dick J.; Voineskos, Aristotle; Völzke, Henry; Walter, Henrik; Walton, Esther; Wang, Lei; Wang, Yang; Wassink, Thomas H.; Weber, Bernd; Wen, Wei; West, John D.; Westlye, Lars T.; Whalley, Heather; Wierenga, Lara M.; Williams, Steven C.R.; Wittfeld, Katharina; Wolf, Daniel H.; Worker, Amanda; Wright, Margaret J.; Yang, Kun; Yoncheva, Yulyia; Zanetti, Marcus V.; Ziegler, Georg C.; Thompson, Paul M.; Frangou, Sophia; Karolinska Schizophrenia Project (KaSP); Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of MedicineAge has a major effect on brain volume. However, the normative studies available are constrained by small sample sizes, restricted age coverage and significant methodological variability. These limitations introduce inconsistencies and may obscure or distort the lifespan trajectories of brain morphometry. In response, we capitalized on the resources of the Enhancing Neuroimaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) Consortium to examine age-related trajectories inferred from cross-sectional measures of the ventricles, the basal ganglia (caudate, putamen, pallidum, and nucleus accumbens), the thalamus, hippocampus and amygdala using magnetic resonance imaging data obtained from 18,605 individuals aged 3-90 years. All subcortical structure volumes were at their maximum value early in life. The volume of the basal ganglia showed a monotonic negative association with age thereafter; there was no significant association between age and the volumes of the thalamus, amygdala and the hippocampus (with some degree of decline in thalamus) until the sixth decade of life after which they also showed a steep negative association with age. The lateral ventricles showed continuous enlargement throughout the lifespan. Age was positively associated with inter-individual variability in the hippocampus and amygdala and the lateral ventricles. These results were robust to potential confounders and could be used to examine the functional significance of deviations from typical age-related morphometric patterns.
