Incredibly excited about this massive collaborative effort to longitudinally phenotype (for 2 years!) 1800 patients & 600 controls w/ MPIs @DrChrisPitt @PearlsonGodfrey. Too many rock star collaborators to name but here are a few w/ twitter: @RobbRutledge @_AnnaKonova_ @docqhuys
Replying to @YaleMed
@YaleMed researchers have been awarded a $20.6 million federal grant for a five-year study of people with a wide range of mental illnesses. Project leaders are, from left, @DrChrisPitt, @yip_lab, and Dr. Godfrey Pearlson. tinyurl.com/299ru682

Excited to share our latest paper in which we discuss merging theory-and data- driven computational psychiatry in a large transdiagnostic cohort study (N=2400) biologicalpsychiatrycnni.org…... @AnnieRHCheng @DrChrisPitt @PearlsonGodfrey

New paper from @AnnieRHCheng in which she identifies neural signatures of impulsivity and neuroticism in youth (N~1100) w/ replication in #ABCD and tests for overlap with a previously validated alcohol neuromarker!!! 1/X nature.com/articles/s41380-0…

network - and these connections were distinct between the two traits! - thereby identifying a neural mechanism via which each trait may predispose to increased risk for alcohol use in youth 3/X

Super cool stuff from a rock star team! Interested in development, executive functioning and computational psychiatry?? Then read this 😊🚀🚀🚀
Absolutely thrilled to see this paper finally out after many years of hard work by @rctomlinson! A deep dive, within a large developmental sample, into the ways evidence accumulation models do, and do not, improve inferences in the study of executive function and psychopathology.

Have you ever wondered “how should I be analyzing my cognitive task data”? Well, I’ve been obsessed with that question since first reading @AlexWeigard’s work in 2020. And now our deep dive is out in the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science! psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/…

Fantastic work from the labs of @stevewcchang, Anirvan Nandy, and @mon_sci, led by @OliviaMeisner & @wilburshi2. Our Kavli Institute is proud to have supported this research through our neurotechnology core (marmoset apparatus for automated pulling). cell.com/current-biology/ful…

Super excited to share this new collaborative work - marmosets use diverse and highly flexible strategies when they cooperate. These strategies are powerfully determined by both social factors (sex, dominance, familiarity) & individual partner identity. cell.com/current-biology/abs…

This is awesome! Congrats! We are embarking on a methamphetamine-induced psychosis project in rats with fMRI so we may have some cool data for you to play with too!

It's clear that many do not understand what @NIH-funded research does to improve health. It's time to revive a study published 10 years ago that provides incredible information about this. link in the comment Every single new drug approved by the FDA from 2010–2016 was built on NIH-funded research—that’s all 210 drugs. But what the public sees is just the tip of the iceberg. Pharma takes credit for the final product, but beneath each drug developed, there are ~20 years of basic research, and 90% of the cost is from basic research funded by the NIH, which discovers drug targets, understands disease mechanisms, and creates life-saving treatments. Figuring out how cancer evades the immune system, how addiction rewires the brain, and how heart disease develops is the role of the NIH, creating the foundation for the breakthrough drugs that come 20 years later, and the NIH does all that with only 0.8% of the US budget. Without NIH, there would be no cancer immunotherapy, no anti-overdose medication, no anti-heart attack or stroke medication, no cutting-edge treatments. If NIH funding is cut, the iceberg will melt. That means fewer cures, more suffering, and more lives lost. The science beneath the surface keeps us afloat. Invest in NIH. Invest in life

My time in industry convinced me of the importance of basic, government funded science research. It was crazy how much of the stuff we did was based directly on academic research that in-and-of-itself would have been too risky and/or too low-return for the company to do
