A 25-year longitudinal birth cohort study from Estonia reveals how genes, biomarkers, environment, and family shape behavior, mental health, and life trajectories. Findings offer key insights into neurodevelopment, psychiatric risk!

Some papers carry more than scientific weight: they carry legacy.
This study honors a deeply respected contributor to Acta Neuropsychiatrica and a leading figure in psychiatry, whose impact continues to shape the field.

Authors also explore the mechanistic basis of these effects, including receptor interactions.
The review points to a compelling possibility: that ibogaine’s therapeutic value may extend beyond symptom relief to supporting neural repair.

We remember with admiration Dr. Stein behind this contribution, whose work and generosity helped advance not only science, but the psychopharmacology community.
A lasting contribution and a meaningful legacy.

How effective are music-based interventions for mental health in young adults?
In this systematic review of clin trials in young adults, found that music therapy, binaural beats & rhythm-based auditory stimulation are associated w/ moderate improvements across multiple domains:

– Anxiety and mood regulation
– Sleep quality
– Stress-related physiological markers
– Cognitive performance
Effect sizes indicate clinically meaningful, though not large effects.

These non-pharmacological, technology-delivered approaches offer accessible support and align with young adults' lifestyle.
A promising step toward scalable mental health support. Check the study for more info: doi.org/10.1017/neu.2026.100…

The latest perspective on ibogaine's potential to facilitate white matter repair in CNS injury @scnpjournal doi.org/10.1017/neu.2026.100… Published with icons Beni Lerer, Steve Shoptaw and the late Dan Stein, the kindest giant in (cape) town. RIP 😢

🧠🧬 Autoimmunity as an underexplored contributor to neuropsychiatric symptoms in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome
A recent study synthesizes evidence linking autoimmune processes to the neuropsychiatric phenotype observed in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS).

42
📄 Individuals with 22q11DS may develop
• increased circulating autoantibodies & elevated inflammatory markers
• increased BBB permeability
• Converging evidence shows that antibodies targeting neural proteins can induce psychiatric symptoms

🧩 Findings suggest
Autoantibodies may represent an under-recognized source of vulnerability, acting alongside the genetic deletion
🔬 This perspective opens new directions for research and clinical consideration, including immunological screening

How prevalent are behavioural addictions among adolescents?
A newly published study in Acta Neuropsychiatrica suggests insights by examining multiple behavioral addictions simultaneously.

It identifies strong links to underlying mental health:
• Food addiction was tied to depression, anxiety, and stress.
• Problematic internet use was linked to depression and stress.
• Internet gaming disorder was associated with anxiety.

The high rate of problematic internet use reflects the digitally immersive world.
Findings underscore the deep connection between behavioral patterns and mental well-being.

Decision-making in Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in Social Context
A recent fMRI study used a multi-round Ultimatum Game to examine fairness, norm violations & value processing in individuals with BPD

These findings suggest that social impairments in BPD may be context-dependent, rather than pervasive
Diff in behavior and neural processing may emerge primarily under stressful, disorder-relevant interpersonal contexts, rather than in neutral, one-shot interactions w/ strangers

📌 Clinically, this supports a nuanced view of BPD: social difficulties may be amplified by interpersonal stress and emotional load, not by a global inability to process fairness or social norms.
