Stanford Medicine researchers have made significant strides in understanding emotional responses by mapping brainwide neuronal processing linked to unpleasant sensory experiences. This groundbreaking study identifies the common brain activity patterns among humans and mice, suggesting these emotional responses are fundamental across mammals. Led by Karl Deisseroth and his multidisciplinary team, the research aims to shed light on the neural mechanisms driving various neuropsychiatric disorders associated with emotional dysregulation, thus enhancing the understanding of psychiatry and mental health care.
Emotional states are fundamental to psychiatry,” said Karl Deisseroth, emphasizing the essential role emotions play in mental health and the understanding of neuropsychiatric disorders.
The findings could help unveil some of the driving forces behind numerous neuropsychiatric disorders, which are characterized in large part by troublesome emotional manifestations.
