Antidepressant treatment shouldn't be a guessing game. RELMED is working towards using advanced research to predict which medication is most likely to help each person along their individual path to recovery.

Postdoctoral research position in #ComputationalPsychiatry and #EEG as part of relmed.ac.uk trial testing reinforcement learning as biomarker for antidepressant treatment response. www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/... @uclbrainscience.bsky.social @mikebrowning.bsky.social @relmed.bsky.social

Trials for computational psychiatry - Nature Computational Science Computational psychiatry is increasingly delivering causal evidence by focusing on interventions research and clinical trials. Causal evidence could improve patient outcomes through improved precision, repurposing, novel interventions, scaling of psychotherapy and better translation to the clinic.

In a Comment, @docqhuys.bsky.social and Michael Browning argue that the field of computational psychiatry will improve patient outcomes through its increasing focus on interventions and trials. #mentalhealthresearch #Psychiatry

Brain-wide representations of prior information in mouse decision-making - Nature Brain-wide recordings in mice reveal that prior expectations are distributed through recurrent loops across all levels of cortical and subcortical processing.

The brain's priors have been found! They were hiding everywhere: www.nature.com/articles/s41.... So if this is true for "simple" decisions, it should also be true for more complex ones, like, say, emotions, right?
