Led by Santiago López Pereyra & Dr. Goldschmied, this study demonstrates that combining two novel TMS-derived metrics with standard motor-evoked potentials classifies unmedicated major depressive disorder with 83.3% accuracy. nature.com/articles/s4427…

In this recent DPN study, Dr. Zürcher & colleagues adapted an AI-based segmentation tool to accurately delineate the choroid plexus in autism spectrum disorder. This approach helps quantify choroid plexus volume across large neuroimaging datasets. nature.com/articles/s4427…

This study by @DrSarahSperry & colleagues shows that in bipolar disorder, better mood and higher daily steps predicted each other from day to day, while more intense physical activity improved next-day mood but was not influenced by mood. nature.com/articles/s4427…

Federal funding for major health programs APA supported passed Congress and was signed into law yesterday. The package also contains vital health program authorizations, including an extension of telehealth flexibilities through Dec. 2027. APA recognizes and appreciates the continued investment by Congress in vital behavioral health initiatives. ow.ly/8KUn50Y91Kg

Recapping the #ACNP2026 study group, “Centering Lived Experience in Psychiatric Neuroscience Research” We asked the panelists, what could NIH leadership do to be more supportive of trainees with non-traditional career paths, which is common among researchers with lived experience of mental illness?
