项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract High rates of psychiatric comorbidity (~50% of adults) pose significant challenges to mental health research and practice. Accumulating mental health research encourages a shift in focus towards transdiagnostic dimensional features that are shared across categorical disorders due to difficulties identifying causes, biomarkers, and treatments with specificity to individual disorders. In support of this shift, transdiagnostic research has identified a general psychopathology factor – often called the ‘p’ factor – that accounts for shared variation across internalizing, externalizing, and thought disorders in diverse samples. Identifying neural correlates of this general psychopathology factor would substantiate its importance in characterizing the shared origins of mental disorders and help us begin to understand the mechanisms through which the p factor may contribute to risk. Previous research by the applicant has identified relations between the p factor and structural alterations within a cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuit (CTCC), involved in higher-order cognitive and emotional processing. An F32 postdoctoral fellowship would allow the applicant to critically expand this research by examining replicability, mechanisms, and trajectory of associations between CTCC neural alterations and p factor scores in two large, openly available existing datasets: the Consortium for Neuropsychiatric Phenomics (CNP) and the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development (ABCD) studies. The CNP includes healthy adults and patients (aged 21-50) with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. ABCD includes a nationally representative sample of youth (aged 9-10) who are being followed longitudinally for 10 years. Using data from these two studies will allow the applicant to (1) examine whether the association between p factor scores and CTCC alterations are identifiable in youth, prior to the onset of most major mental illnesses (ABCD), and in patients with serious mental illness (CNP), (2) test neurocognitive mechanisms underlying this association, and (3) trace unfolding of symptoms over time related to these neural alterations. In addition, the applicant will conduct a feasibility study in healthy young adults to learn how to reliably activate the CTCC during a cognitive control task and provide pilot data for future grants. With substantial research and training opportunities available at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School, the mentorship of Dr. Diego Pizzagalli (primary mentor), a leader in the field of clinical neuroscience of depression, and the consultation of Dr. Roman Kotov (expert in statistical modeling of psychiatric symptoms) and Dr. Blaise Frederick (expert in magnetic resonance imaging physics), the applicant will receive training in all aspects of MRI experimental design and analysis, statistical modeling of the structure and trajectory of symptoms over time, professional development skills, and in designing and implementing her first independent functional MRI (fMRI) study. Together, the proposed training plan will support the applicant in contributing to transdiagnostic neuroscience research, honing skills in statistical modeling and advanced neuroimaging research, and building a program of independent research.

项目摘要/摘要精神病合并症的高率（约50％的成年人）对心理健康研究构成了重大挑战实践。累积心理健康研究鼓励将重点转移到经诊断的维度上由于难以识别原因，生物标志物和对个体疾病的特殊性治疗。为了支持这一转变，经诊断研究已经确定一般的心理病理学因素（通常称为“ P”因素），它解释了各个方面的共同差异潜水员样本中的内部化，外在化和思想障碍。识别这一将军的神经相关性心理病理学因素将证实其在表征精神障碍共同起源方面的重要性并帮助我们开始了解P因子可能导致风险的机制。以前的适用的研究确定了P因子和结构改变之间的关系小脑 - thalamo-cortical Cource（CTCC），涉及高阶认知和情感处理。 F32 博士后奖学金将使申请人通过检查可复制性，批判性地扩展这项研究 CTCC神经改变与P因子评分之间的机制和关联轨迹公开可用的现有数据集：神经精神现象学联盟（CNP）和青少年大脑和认知发展（ABCD）研究。 CNP包括健康的成年人和患者（21-50岁）患有注意力不足/多动症，躁郁症和精神分裂症。 ABCD包括全国在纵向纵向10年的青年样本（9-10岁）。使用来自这两项研究将允许申请人（1）检查P因子分数和在大多数主要精神疾病（ABCD）发作之前，CTCC的改变是可以识别的，在患有严重精神疾病的患者（CNP），（2）测试这种关联的神经认知机制，（3）跟踪与这些神经改变有关的随时间推移的症状展开。此外，适用的将在健康的年轻人中进行可行性研究，以学习如何在认知过程中可靠激活CTCC 控制任务并为未来的赠款提供试验数据。提供大量的研究和培训机会在迭戈·比萨加利（Diego Pizzagalli）博士（主要导师）的麦克莱恩医院/哈佛医学院，领导者在抑郁症的临床神经科学领域以及罗马·科托夫博士的咨询（统计专家）精神病症状的建模）和布莱斯·弗雷德里克（Blaise Frederick）博士（磁共振成像物理学专家），申请人将在MRI实验设计和分析的各个方面接受培训，统计建模符号随时间，专业发展技巧以及设计和设计和轨迹的结构和轨迹实施她的首次独立功能MRI（fMRI）研究。拟议的培训计划将共同支持申请人为转诊神经科学研究做出贡献，磨练统计建模和先进的神经影像学研究，并构建一个独立研究计划。
