Automated MRI measures identify individuals with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease

RS Desikan, HJ Cabral, CP Hess, WP Dillon… - Brain, 2009 - academic.oup.com
Mild cognitive impairment can represent a transitional state between normal ageing and
Alzheimer's disease. Non-invasive diagnostic methods are needed to identify mild cognitive …

[PDF][PDF] Improved detection of common variants associated with schizophrenia by leveraging pleiotropy with cardiovascular-disease risk factors

…, JC Roddey, LK McEvoy, RS Desikan… - The American Journal of …, 2013 - cell.com
Several lines of evidence suggest that genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have the
