Computational mechanisms of learning and forgetting differentiate affective and substance use disorders - Molecular Psychiatry Molecular Psychiatry - Computational mechanisms of learning and forgetting differentiate affective and substance use disorders

Congrats to Navid on his new paper in Molecular Psychiatry! Computational modeling found that learning rates and uncertainty sensitivity could distinguish between affective disorders and substance use disorders. Forgetting rate was instead affected transdiagnostically. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congratulations Maria! You’re a rockstar.

#standupforscience2025 in Tulsa, OK yesterday. As @awiglesworth.bsky.social said, we (and the folks driving by) learned something.

Stand up for science. Don’t step into the street for science!

Neural activity to reward and loss predicting treatment outcomes for adults with generalized anxiety disorder: A randomized clinical trial Aberrant reward processing has been predominantly associated with depressive disorders, with evidence that pre-treatment abnormalities in striatal reward responsiveness relates to treatment outcomes. ...

Side note: our previous “paper in a day” manuscript just received an accept with minor revision. So stay tuned for exciting updates in advancing culturally grounded mental health and neuroimaging research

Neu-AIRR lab “paper in a day” 2024 is underway! Our first attempt to do this on the same day as the institute holiday luncheon. Fingers crossed!

This paper was led by a previous post-doc and current Assistant Professor at University of Tennessee, Chattanooga Dr. Ricadrdo Wilhelm.

The study links culturally-relevant protective factors to neural mechanisms of executive control, offering insights for resilience-based mental health interventions. #Neuroscience #IndigenousResearch

I finally made my way onto the platform! I am excited to connect! I am also excited to share our new paper recently released online in American Psychologist (open access link: psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...)
