Importantly, the same circuit can have multiple points of failure, each of which results in a different type of dysregulation, and thus elicits distinct cascades downstream that produce divergent signs and symptoms. Here, we illustrate this challenge by examining how subtle differences in circuit perturbations can lead to divergent clinical outcomes. We also discuss how computational models can perform the spatially heterogenous integration and bridge in vitro and in vivo paradigms. By leveraging recent methodological advances and tools, computational models can integrate relevant processes across scales (e.g., TCA-cycle, ion channel, neural microassembly, whole-brain macro-circuit) and across physiological systems (e.g., neural, endocrine, immune, vascular), providing a framework that can unite these mechanistic processes in a manner that goes beyond the conceptual and descriptive, to the quantitative and generative. These hold the potential to sharpen our intuitions towards circuit-based models for personalized diagnostics and treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":93900,"journal":{"name":"Biological psychiatry.

Methodologies including closed-loop systems and real-time neurofeedback may provide tools to help bolster success in mindfulness task performance, titrate the exposure to mindfulness interventions, or improve engagement with mindfulness sessions. This review explores the use of closed-loop systems and real-time neurofeedback to influence, augment, or promote mindfulness interventions. Various closed-loop neurofeedback signals from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) have been used to provide subjective correlates to mindfulness states including: fMRI region-of-interest based signals (e.g., posterior cingulate cortex), fMRI network-based signals (e.g., default mode network, central executive network, salience network), and EEG spectral-based signals (e.g., alpha, theta, and gamma bands). Past research has focused on how successful interventions has aligned with the subjective mindfulness meditation experience. Future research may pivot towards using appropriate control conditions (e.g., mindfulness-only or sham-neurofeedback) to quantify the effects of closed-loop systems and neurofeedback-guided mindfulness meditation in improving cognition and wellbeing.</p>","PeriodicalId":93900,"journal":{"name":"Biological psychiatry.

Disruptions in glucose metabolism such as hyperglycemia and insulin resistance have been shown to occur with antipsychotic use, independent of changes in body weight or adiposity. The regulation of whole-body glucose metabolism is partly mediated by the central nervous system (CNS). In particular, the hypothalamus and brainstem are responsive to peripheral energy signals and subsequently mediate feedback mechanisms to maintain peripheral glucose homeostasis. In this scoping review of preclinical in vivo studies, we aimed to explore central mechanisms through which antipsychotics dysregulate glucose metabolism. A systematic search for animal studies identified 29 studies that met our eligibility criteria for qualitative synthesis. The studies suggest that antipsychotic-induced changes in autonomic nervous system activity, certain neurotransmitter systems, expression of neuropeptides, and central insulin action mediate impairments in glucose metabolism.
