🧬 Do genetic variations influence #antidepressant efficacy? A MOODS study links the GRIK4 rs1954787 polymorphism to remission rates after 6 months of treatment. A move toward more personalized medicine in molecularpsychiatry: nature.com/articles/s4138…

🧠 MOODS team at #CFP2024 to present works on depression, interoception and belief generation. Thank you to the CFP committee for the research grant awarded to the team!

How #dynamical systems theory may be used to explain the nature and dynamics of psychiatric disorders ? An enlightening article from Wageningen U&R in JAMA Psychiatry : jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

By mapping the meanings of the words used to communicate emotions across more than one-third of the planet’s spoken languages, a study in Science found that there is significant variation in how emotions are expressed across cultures. #ScienceMagArchives scim.ag/4gGECui

🧠 How do shared #beliefs drive collective intelligence? By minimising free energy, agents align perspectives, resolve uncertainty, and create distributed intelligence. A unified principle for learning, decision-making, and cultural evolution from UCL : sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Left vlPFC activity during reward expectancy was positively associated with #mania/#hypomania risk, and this association was attenuated by history of depression 🧠 New study from Pitt Health Sciences in JAMA Psychiatry

Are white matter hyperintensities (WMH) linked to depression in adults <65? 🧠 A MOODS study found no overall difference between patients & controls, but WMH may act as a mediator of the association between age and MDE severity : pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39731725/

Perception combines external sensory signals with internal predictions. Weilnhammer et al. show that the NMDAR antagonist ketamine, and schizophrenia—characterized by NMDAR hypofunction—are associated with a shift of perception towards the external mode. tinyurl.com/yp94d32p

C’est parti pour le congrès de l’#Encéphale 2025, placé sous le thème de l’esprit libre ! 🧠 Début des festivités avec la session « Les Big Five de la littérature psychiatrique » 📚 Hugo Bottemanne

Can brain structure predict antidepressant response? A machine learning study using MRI data found that cortical morphometry alone couldn’t predict treatment response. However, predictions were more accurate in patients with the most and least improvement: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39757979/

Merci Le Figaro Santé de m’avoir donné la parole dans le dossier spécial "Dépression : les nouveaux traitements".

This study identified a common brain circuit centered on the hippocampus's posterior subiculum linked to lesions causing secondary psychosis. ja.ma/4aZ0bEY Frederic Schaper Shan Siddiqi @shansiddiqi.bsky.social

🧠Reshaping computational #neuropsychiatry beyond synaptopathy? In our article in Brain, we suggest that distinguishing between synaptopathies and disconnection-driven brain disorders could enhance our understanding of neuropsychiatric symptoms academic.oup.com/brain/article-…

Does #belief in one #conspiracy theory increase the likelihood of believing in others? A new longitudinal study from Massey University provides evidence of a causal relationship, showing that endorsing one conspiracy predicts greater belief in others over time: repository.cam.ac.uk/items/9c8f744e…

Computational neuropsychiatry seeks to explain neurological and psychiatric disorders in terms of neuronal message passing. Bottemanne et al. argue that these models may not apply to vascular neurological pathologies and severe tauopathy & synucleinopathy. tinyurl.com/bddu23ve
