Overview

Tomáš Paus is affiliated with the University of Toronto in Canada and has an extensive publication record in the fields of medicine, neuroscience, and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their research interests span several subfields including cognitive neuroscience, genetics, experimental and cognitive psychology, molecular biology, and clinical psychology.

The main themes of Tomáš Paus's work relate to functional brain connectivity studies, mental health research topics, advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications, genetic associations and epidemiology, child and adolescent psychosocial and emotional development, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and genomic variations and chromosomal abnormalities.

Among recent significant papers are:

  • Towards a youth mental health paradigm: a perspective and roadmap (2023) published in Molecular Psychiatry
  • Association of Cannabis Use During Adolescence With Neurodevelopment (2021) published in JAMA Psychiatry
  • Genetic variation influencing DNA methylation provides insights into molecular mechanisms regulating genomic function (2022) published in Nature Genetics
  • Cellular correlates of cortical thinning throughout the lifespan (2020) published in Scientific Reports
  • What we learn about bipolar disorder from large-scale neuroimaging: Findings and future directions from the ENIGMA Bipolar Disorder Working Group (2020) published in Human Brain Mapping
