Schwartz, E., Nenning, K. H., Heuer, K., Jeffery, N., Bertrand, O. C., Toro, R., Kasprian, G., Prayer, D., Langs, G. (2023). Evolution of cortical geometry and its link to function, behaviour and ecology. Nature communications, 14(1), 2252.\\

\\
Impact: Linking brain imaging data of 90 species, this paper reconstructs the evolution of the human brain over more than 70 million years. The paper established new evidence for the tethering hypothesis of the brain, and the linked cortical maps form a basis for translating insights across species. \\

Burger, B., Nenning, K. H., Schwartz, E., Margulies, D. S., Goulas, A., Liu, H., Neubauer, S., Dauwels, J., Prayer, D.,  Langs, G. (2022). Disentangling cortical functional connectivity strength and topography reveals divergent roles of genes and environment. NeuroImage, 247, 118770.\\

\\
Impact: This paper showed that individual brain variability of anatomy, and function can be disentangled.  Prior approaches to study variability were not able to resolve how genes and environment shape the functional network architecture, and its spatial layout on the cortex differently. In contrast, this work could show that disentangling reveals a heterogeneous landscape of genetic and environmental influence on the human cortical architecture.\\

\\
Impact: Introduced a lung segmentation model that can cope with substantial disease in a robust way. It was most downloaded and most cited paper of Eur. Rad. Exp. 2020. The open source code published together with the paper, enabling lung segmentation was downloaded more than 10.000 times.\\
