Congrats to Navid on his new paper in Molecular Psychiatry! Computational modeling found that learning rates and uncertainty sensitivity could distinguish between affective disorders and substance use disorders. Forgetting rate was instead affected transdiagnostically. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Big congrats to Marishka on this. I know how much time and effort went into it. Really happy to see it out! For those interested, she replicated prior longitudinal results using an approach-avoidance conflict task and showed how model parameters afforded out-of-sample clinical prediction.
Agreed. The video examples are super interesting. I wish the questions were asked in a more controlled way, but I can’t fault for some limitations of this rarely possible type of work. It seemed quite somatic and abrupt. No spontaneous descriptions of emotion proper either. Only when given a word.
This is a new paper testing Bayesian computational mechanisms of improvements in cardiac interoception due to a training program developed by @sarahgarf.bsky.social and colleagues. Led by a very talented grad student @chatrins.bsky.social (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...)

We’re bringing computational psychiatry to #ACNP2026
Our panel shows how RL, DDMs, active inference, and neural models can unpack symptom heterogeneity across anxiety, psychosis, ADHD, depression, and suicide risk-moving beyond diagnoses to mechanisms.

Even after recovery, relapse is heartbreakingly common in anorexia nervosa. Could the answer lie in the gut’s hidden signals? 🧵
📣We are excited to welcome @rssmith.bsky.social for our next CCP Speaker Series talk! Join us TODAY, November 21st, at 1pm EDT

Very excited to be attending #IWAI2025 in Montreal🍁 organised by David Benrimoh!! already heard some great talks by @rssmith.bsky.social and team 🧠💡
🧠📈 How can computational models help decode interoception in #MentalHealth? This chapter explores how sensing the body’s internal signals links to psychiatric disorders— how computational psychiatry may unlock new treatment targets. bit.ly/4p8wjLE @rssmith.bsky.social @mpwpaulus.bsky.social
This is ‘Really’ FUTURISTIC!! #MentalHealth I would be Soo ‘Honored’ to Help in anyway EvenIF ‘That way’ is By SHARING these Advancements!!! @rssmith.bsky.social @mpwpaulus.bsky.social
Interoceptive interventions offer a promising avenue for improving mental health conditions, which commonly feature bodily or interoceptive symptoms. …
