• Common variants in TMPRSS6 are associated with iron status and erythrocyte volume.

  We report a genome-wide association study to iron status. We identify an association of SNPs in TPMRSS6 to serum iron (rs855791, combined P = 1.5 x 10…

• Association between major depressive disorder and heart rate variability in the Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety (NESDA).

  CONTEXT: It has been hypothesized that depression is associated with lower heart rate variability and decreased cardiac vagal control. This may play a…

• Heritability of "small-world" networks in the brain: a graph theoretical analysis of resting-state EEG functional connectivity.

  Recent studies have shown that resting-state functional networks as studied with fMRI, EEG, and MEG may be so-called small-world networks. We investig…

• Strong resemblance in the amplitude of oscillatory brain activity in monozygotic twins is not caused by "trivial" similarities in the composition of the skull.

  Previous twin studies have shown strong heritability of electroencephalogram amplitude characteristics, such as power spectra. However, it has been su…
