🧪 Research Spotlight: Ziad Nahas, MD, MSCR, is studying how brain networks regulate mood in #BipolarDisorder & how instability drives shifts between depression & mania with PACE
👉 Goal: Test if targeting networks can improve mood & reveal mechanisms behind switches.

We are excited to be a part of this community to further efforts to understand and treat #bipolardisorder where we hope to bring biological insight back to psychiatry @umn-tc-aaup.bsky.social
The next cycle of funding for BD²’s Discovery Research program is now open! Up to $18M is available, which offers $1.5M per year for 3 years to advance bold, collaborative studies uncovering the biology of #Bipolar. LOIs due Nov 21 👉 bit.ly/4mtZ6tC

This is the future. The reality of biological #psychiatry. We listen to the patient, create a personalized map of their brain, use algorithms to disrupt stuck networks, and adapt the stimulation over time while continuing our quest to understand those networks.
Now with PFM, prior cortical stim work by @ziad-nahas.bsky.social for depression could be patient specific.
We developed the end-to-end minimally invasive PACE used by @drdaviddarrow.bsky.social to place electrodes directly on Mike's salience, default, fronto-parietal, and action mode networks.

“An Action Networks Model for Pain”
We propose a new model for chronic pain — and highlight two functionally connected cortical networks that could revolutionize how we treat it.

With a thousand people essentially choosing between slot machines, we were able to figure out that anxiety traits and apathy traits provide counterbalance pushing us to either search for better options or stick with what is working, guiding our decisions #universityofminnesota
Anxious people tended to explore more, viewing their environment as rapidly changing. In contrast, apathetic individuals explored less and saw changes as random.
