The lesion network mapping method links diverse brain lesions to similar functional brain networks, reflecting general brain organization rather than disorder-specific circuits.

Connectome-based predictive modeling (CPM) applied to functional MRI connectivity data can identify brain networks that vary with behavioral measures across subjects. The prediction strength also prov...

The Faculty of Arts and Sciences slashed the number of Ph.D. student admissions slots for the Science division by more than 75 percent and for the Arts & Humanities division by about 60 percent for th...

This study demonstrates that guanfacine immediate release enhances cognitive control circuit function and behavioral performance in a neurobiologically defined cognitive biotype of depression, achievi...

Several MRI artifacts contribute to the neuronal activity signal picked up by the method, according to a preprint the authors posted this month.

Previous studies have established that scores on Major Depressive Disorder scales are correlated with measures of impairment of psychosocial functioning. It remains unclear, however, whether individua...

Molecular Psychiatry - Neurodevelopmentally rooted epicenters in schizophrenia: sensorimotor-association spatial axis of cortical thickness alterations

Background: Retinal alterations and related health/cognitive profiles are reported in psychosis spectrum disorders (PSD), but it is unknown whether multivariate retina-biopsychosocial covariations can...

The authors analyze white matter alterations in bipolar II depression, revealing significant correlations with inflammation and psychiatric symptoms. These findings suggest that childhood emotional ma...

The underlying mechanism of electroconvulsive therapy remains not fully understood. Here, the authors use optical neuroimaging in mice and humans to show that electroconvulsive therapy elicits a secon...

Introduction Cortical grey matter loss is a common finding in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) studies of people with psychosis and has been shown to progress with ongoing illness. A major unresolved ...
