Joao Guimaraes has made significant contributions to our understanding of the neural basis of brain structure, function, and cognition. Research highlights shared genetic influences on resting-state functional networks of the brain, revealing a complex interplay between genetic variants and longitudinal changes in brain structure across the lifespan. Additionally, findings demonstrate the importance of missing genetic links between general factors of brain resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, cognition, and psychopathology. Guimaraes' work also sheds light on the influence of genetic predisposition for Alzheimer's disease on default mode network co-activation in young adults and explores the shared biology of cognitive traits determined by genetic overlap.
