https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ulk-101.html As we age, our brain structure changes and our cognitive capabilities decline. Although brain aging is universal, rates of brain aging differ markedly, which can be associated with pathological mechanism of psychiatric and neurological diseases. Predictive models have been applied to neuroimaging data to learn patterns associated with this variability and develop a neuroimaging biomarker of the brain condition. Aiming to stimulate the development of more accurate brain-age predictors, the Predictive Analytics Competition (PAC) 2019 provided a challenge that included a dataset of 2,640 participants. Here, we present our approach which placed between the top 10 of the challenge. We developed an ensemble of shallow machine learning methods (e.g., Support Vector Regression and Decision Tree-based regressors) that combined voxel-based and surface-based morphometric data. We used normalized brain volume maps (i.e., gray matter, white matter, or both) and features of cortical regions and anatomical structures, like cortical thickness, volume, and mean curvature. In order to fine-tune the hyperparameters of the machine learning methods, we combined the use of genetic algorithms and grid search. Our ensemble had a mean absolute error of 3.7597 years on the competition, showing the potential that shallow methods still have in predicting brain-age.Cognitive performance at illness onset may predict outcomes in first-episode psychosis (FEP), and the change in cognition may associate with clinical changes. Cognitive testing was administered to 54 FEP participants 2 months after entering treatment and to 39 participants after 1 year. We investigated whether baseline cognition predicted 1-year outcomes beyond positive, negative, and affective symptoms and whether the trajectory of cognition associated with clinical change. Baseline overall neurocognitive performance predicted the 1-year social and occupational level, occupational st
