  • "Intracranial and subcortical volumes in adolescents with early-onset psychosis: A multisite mega-analysis from the ENIGMA consortium" (2020, Human Brain Mapping)
  • "A systematic review of premorbid cognitive functioning and its timing of onset in schizophrenia spectrum disorders" (2022, Schizophrenia Research Cognition)
  • "Mapping gray and white matter volume abnormalities in early-onset psychosis: an ENIGMA multicenter voxel-based morphometry study" (2024, Molecular Psychiatry)
  • "Childhood trauma, social cognition and schizophrenia: Specific association between physical neglect and cognitive theory of mind in homicide offenders" (2021, Psychiatry Research)
  • "Association between early suicidal trajectories in first-episode psychosis and 10-year follow-up: TIPS registry-linked study" (2023, The Lancet Psychiatry)

The frequent co-authors collaborating with Bjørn Rishovd Rund include Ingrid Agartz, Cláudia Barth, Runar Elle Smelror, Anne M. Myhre, and Ole A. Andreassen.

Publication venues contributing to their body of work include:

  • Frontiers in Psychiatry
  • Comprehensive Psychiatry
