Each month The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation hosts a Meet the Scientist Webinar featuring a researcher discussing the latest findings related to mental illness. In October, 2024, the Foundation featured Dr. Sarah W. Yip of Yale School of Medicine.
Description: Translation of research findings to the clinic remains a primary challenge of modern psychiatry. One way is via machine-learning approaches. When combined with network neuroscience, machine learning further allows for assessment of systems-level brain processes in an unbiased manner. This talk will present recent work demonstrating the utility of this approach to identify specific brain networks that predict individual differences in complex addiction outcomes, including opioid and cocaine use-risk in adults and alcohol use-risk in youth. Recommendations for future work using machine learning models in psychiatry, and within the specific context of the current addiction epidemic, will be discussed.
