Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation –Induced Neuroplasticity and the Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders: State of the Evidence and Future Opportunities
Neuroplasticity, or activity-dependent neuronal change, is a crucial mechanism underlying the mechanisms of effect of many therapies for neuropsychiatric disorders, one of which is repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Understanding the neuroplastic effects of rTMS at different biological scales and on different timescales and how the effects at different scales interact with each other can help us understand the effects of rTMS in clinical populations and offers the potential to improve treatment outcomes.

Personalized and Circuit-Based Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Evidence, Controversies, and Opportunities
The development of neuroimaging methodologies to map brain connectivity has transformed our understanding of psychiatric disorders, the distributed effects of brain stimulation, and how transcranial magnetic stimulation can be best employed to target and ameliorate psychiatric symptoms. In parallel, neuroimaging research has revealed that higher-order brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex, which represent the most common therapeutic brain stimulation targets for psychiatric disorders, show some of the highest levels of interindividual variation in brain connectivity.

Maternal Stress and Vulnerability in Offspring: Hippocampal Mechanisms of Resilience
Maternal stress (MS) is recognized as a critical risk factor for the mental and physical well-being of children, and animal models of chronic stress have shown depressive-like behaviors in their offspring. Given its established association with stress-related effects, the hippocampus has been investigated as a mechanism of vulnerability following MS. Indeed, offspring from chronically stressed mothers show changes in hippocampal structure, most notably in the dentate gyrus (DG), the cortical input region of the hippocampus critical for the formation of episodic memories.

Normalizing Uncertain Threat: What Change in Anxiety-Potentiated Startle Can Tell Us About Anxiety Treatment
Identifying biomarkers and candidate mechanisms underlying psychological disorders represents an intriguing path toward improving treatments. The promise of this line of research is twofold. First, it can facilitate a more targeted approach to treatment by enabling interventions to specifically target the mechanisms responsible for changes in psychological dysfunction, thereby leading to more potent and personalized interventions. Second, the presence or absence of change in a biomarker or mechanism during treatment may serve as a prognostic indicator of treatment response or maintenance of gains, with the potential to be ...

The Biological Psychiatry Cover Art Initiative: Addressing the Underrepresentation of Black People on the Journal Cover Through a Series of Commissioned Artworks
It is a peculiar sensation, this double consciousness, this sense of always looking at one ’s self through the eyes of others. …One ever feels his twoness – an American, a Negro; …two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.—W.E.B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk (1) (Source: Biological Psychiatry)

Mapping the relationship of white matter lesions to depression in multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated neurological disorder where up to 50% of patients experience depression. We investigated how white matter network disruption is related to depression in MS. (Source: Biological Psychiatry)
