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.20…

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

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:

The latest perspective on ibogaine's potential to facilitate white matter repair in CNS injury @scnpjournal doi.org/10.1017/neu.20… Published with icons Beni Lerer, Steve Shoptaw and the late Dan Stein, the kindest giant in (cape) town. RIP 😢

🧩 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 doi.org/10.1017/neu.20…

📄 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

🧠🧬 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).

The high rate of problematic internet use reflects the digitally immersive world. Findings underscore the deep connection between behavioral patterns and mental well-being. doi.org/10.1017/neu.20…

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.

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

📌 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. READ here for more: doi.org/10.1017/neu.20…

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

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 #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #Neuroeconomics #SocialDecisionMaking

⚠️ Caveats: • As in psychiatry, no single, universal biomarker exists. The future likely lies in multi-marker panels. • Findings are primarily preclinical; human translation is the next critical step. Read more: doi.org/10.1017/neu.20… #Neuroscience #Biomarkers #ASDResearch
