It has been associated with variability in cortical structure and function, but the relation between cortex, gene expression and risky behavior remains unclear. Here we investigated associations of structural and functional cortical measures with risky behavior in UK Biobank data (N = 19,205) and examined relationships of the identified cortical patterns with regional gene expression. We found that expression of 49 genes that were previously associated with risky behavior (out of 152 tested) was linked to these cortical patterns. We also observed associations between the identified cortical patterns and gene expression related to psychiatric disorders and specific cortical cell types. Through whole-genome analysis, we selected all genes with expression linked to the identified cortical patterns and identified their associated biological pathways. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying the translation of genetic predispositions into risky behavior. In a large dataset from the UK Biobank, the authors examine the relationships between regional gene expressions and structural and functional features of the cerebral cortex associated with risky behavior.","PeriodicalId":74247,"journal":{"name":"Nature mental health","volume":"2 10","pages":"1183-1195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142435950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, medicalized forms often lack a vital ingredient: a social group dimension. By integrating psychedelics into group settings and leveraging their capacity to foster social identities, the effects of psychedelic-assisted therapies could be enhanced, echoing their potency in Indigenous and community contexts. We outline the relevance of the ‘social cure’ model, supported by strong empirical evidence in social identity and health literature, emphasizing the importance of group contexts and social identity-based relationships in the theraputic effects of psychedelics. We present practical implications for therapeutic practice and identify future directions and challenges for social cure research, offering an agenda for theory-informed work to investigate the role of social identities and group connections in psychedelic treatment. In this Perspective, authors overview the ‘social cure’ model employing group contexts, identity, and connections and argue for its use as a therapeutic framework for psychedelic treatment.","PeriodicalId":74247,"journal":{"name":"Nature mental health","volume":"2 9","pages":"1010-1017"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142160301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cross-sectional study identifies brain structural correlates of individual variation in gene expression in schizophrenia and its clinical implication. RNA-sequencing data from blood samples, magnetic resonance imaging scans and clinical assessments were collected from 43 patients with schizophrenia, together with data from 60 healthy controls. Using RNA-sequencing data we show alterations in both gene-level and isoform-level expression between patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls (1,836 genes and 1,104 isoforms, false-discover-rate-adjusted P < 0.05). We also show differential gene expression to be associated with schizophrenia-related genomic variations (based on genome-wide association study data on 76,755 patients and 243,649 controls; regression coefficient (β) = 0.211, P = 0.001) and differential brain gene expression (P < 0.001, hypergeometric test). Multivariate correlation analysis combining gene expression and brain imaging shows that transcriptional levels of differentially expressed genes significantly correlate with gray matter volume in the frontal and temporal regions of cognitive brain networks in patients with schizophrenia (P < 0.001, permutation test). Findings show a significant association between gene expression, gray matter volume and cognitive performance in patients (P = 0.031, permutation test). Our results suggest that genomic variants in individuals with schizophrenia are associated with alterations in the transcriptome, which plays a role in individual variations in macroscale brain structure and cognition, contributing to building a comprehensive, multi-omics marker for the assessment of schizophrenia. This study examining blood transcriptomic, neuroimaging and clinical data in people with schizophrenia shows a relationship between individual variations in gene transcription, brain structure and cognitive performance.","PeriodicalId":74247,"journal":{"name":"Nature mental health","volume":"2 10","pages":"1239-1249"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142435929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we evaluate whether 5-HT2AR and neuroticism in healthy individuals are related to the risk of developing a future depressive episode by utilizing a large 5-HT2AR molecular-imaging cohort comprising 131 healthy individuals who underwent molecular brain imaging and neuroticism assessments and up to 19 years of data on future depression diagnosis from the Danish Registers. Using cause-specific Cox regression analysis, we found that neocortical 5-HT2AR binding coupled with the inward-directed facets of neuroticism elevated the risk of depression. The risk was greatest in individuals with both high 5-HT2AR binding and high neuroticism. Our data provide novel insights into the risk of depression and support the evaluation of clinical strategies that target 5-HT2AR, such as psychedelics, in conjunction with psychotherapy that addresses personality-based risk factors. In this study, the authors used molecular brain imaging and measures of neuroticism to identify that high 5-HT2AR binding and higher levels of neuroticism predicted an increased risk of developing depression up to 19 years after assessment.","PeriodicalId":74247,"journal":{"name":"Nature mental health","volume":"2 10","pages":"1231-1238"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142435927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To enable robust quantification of individual cerebellar anatomy relative to population norms, we mapped the normative development and aging of the cerebellum across the lifespan using brain scans of >54,000 participants. We estimated normative models at voxel-wise spatial precision, enabling integration with cerebellar atlases. Applying the normative models in independent samples revealed substantial heterogeneity within five clinical illnesses: autism spectrum disorder, mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer disease, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Notably, individuals with autism spectrum disorder and mild cognitive impairment exhibited increased positive and negative extreme deviations in cerebellar anatomy, while those with schizophrenia and Alzheimer disease showed predominantly negative deviations. Finally, extreme deviations were associated with cognitive scores. Our results provide a voxel-wise mapping of cerebellar anatomy across the human lifespan demonstrating the cerebellum’s nuanced role in different clinical illnesses. This study maps cerebellar anatomy across the lifespan using over 54,000 brain scans from 132 scanning sites and identifies that patients with autism spectrum disorder, mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer disease, and schizophrenia are likely to have deviations in cerebellar anatomy.","PeriodicalId":74247,"journal":{"name":"Nature mental health","volume":"2 10","pages":"1196-1207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142435936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
