Abstract EN
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) plays a key role in modern psychiatric research.
It provides a means to assay differences in brain systems that underlie psychiatric illness, treatment response, and properties of brain structure and function that convey risk factor for mental diseases.
Here we review recent advances in fMRI methods in general use and progress made in understanding the neural basis of mental illness.
Drawing on concepts and findings from psychiatric fMRI, we propose that mental illness may not be associated with abnormalities in specific local regions but rather corresponds to variation in the overall organization of functional communication throughout the brain network.
Future research may need to integrate neuroimaging information drawn from different analysis methods and delineate spatial and temporal patterns of brain responses that are specific to certain types of psychiatric disorders.
