This study of mild cognitive impairment with memory problems showed that stimulating the angular gyrus rTMS reversed neuroplasticity related problems and improved cognitive function. Results At baseline, aMCI patients presented impaired LTP-like motor cortical plasticity related

A novel artificial intelligence-based methodology to predict non-specific response to treatment The study used artificial neural networks to analyze randomized controlled trial data and improve the ability to predict treatment effect by reducing variance. It's one component

There's nothing wrong with trauma per se the issue is keeping it from becoming clinically significant.

I think people can kind of get decompression sickness when they're decompressing from stress. All the dissolved stress just comes out of solution. Leaves one feeling disjointed.

This work is remarkable and a bit disturbing or uncanny perhaps.

Trauma affects 70%+ people worldwide (1 in 3 experience 4+ events) [1]. PTSD impacts ~4% globally (WHO)[2], but trauma’s toll extends to mental health crises, chronic illness, and strained communities. About 50–70% face lasting impacts on their mental, physical, or social

We spoke with Dr. Glenn Saxe on the Doorknob Comments Podcast about Psychiatric Diagnosis using causal data science, and his work on Trauma Systems Theory Understanding what really causes mental illness, and integrating that into psychiatric diagnosis models is mission-critical
