In this review, @kangjoolee.bsky.social and colleagues propose a provisional formalism, considering mechanism type, severity, and time, to map neuropsychiatric behavioral pathology to its underlying dynamic neural mechanisms to advance the development of precision treatments.

A framework for advancing mechanistic neuro-behavioral biomarkers in psychiatry

Neuropsychiatry has yet to surmount the fundamental challenge of mapping behavioral pathology to its underlying neural pathology. This gap limits the development of treatments for specific circuit pat...

🙏This work was only possible thanks to the support of our amazing former and current team members at Yale Psychiatry, Jie Lisa Ji, Markus Helmer, John D Murray, John Krystal, and Alan Anticevic. Thank you for your attention!

✅ By integrating genetics, biology to neural mechanisms, and ultimately to brain circuits and symptoms, we outline how imaging could guide personalized treatments for psychiatric disorders in a causal framework.

110

✅ We posit that the failure to operate within a formalism that defines falsifiable parameters may have hindered progress.

100

✅ In this ambitious and exciting piece, we argue that the field of psychiatric neuroimaging is moving towards local optima, and propose a new approach that models the dynamics of disease mechanism complexity.
