- Reposted by Kangjoo LeeIn 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.
- 🚀 Excited to share our new review article published in Biological Psychiatry (In Press)! doi.org/10.1016/j.bi... 💡 ❓ I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and ideas on how we can push the boundaries of psychiatric research together and make real clinical impact.
- ✅ 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.
- ✅ We posit that the failure to operate within a formalism that defines falsifiable parameters may have hindered progress.

- We need a bilingual (Korean/English) mentor with a Ph.D. to help our kid reviewers for the Brain Mappers of Tomorrow event at #OHBM2024! The mentor will guide them through the review of a 1,000 word manuscript written for a journal for kids. 1/3
- The expected time for this mentoring is a few hours + more if the mentor is ambitious. You will be officially registered and acknowledged as a mentor on the journal article.
- It would be great if a mentor also plan to attend the Organization for Human Brain Mapping as it would be a fun experience for them to take part in our Brain Mappers of Tomorrow event, but this last point is not necessary. Please let us know if anyone comes to mind!
