摘要

       This presentation explores how advanced neuroscience techniques are revolutionzing our understanding of brain organization and function, opening new avenues in psychiatric research. We begin by discussing fundamental principles of brain organization, focusing on three core cognitive control networks: the Salience Network, Fronto-Parietal Central Executive Network, and Default Mode Network. These networks and their dynamic interactions play crucial roles in regulating thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We describe the Triple Network Model, proposing that aberrant interactions betwveen these networks underlie various psychiatric disorders. Through examples from autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, depression, and dissociative disorders, we demonstrate how network disruptions manifest as clinical symptoms. Advanced neuroimaging techmiques, including fMRl and intracranial EEG, reveal altered connectivity patterns and dynamics in these conditions. Furthermore, we discuss how this network perspective is informing new treatment approaches, illustrating how pharmacological interventions and neuromodulation techniques can be understood through their impact on network dynamics. We also highlight translational research using rodent models, which provides critical insights into causal mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. By mapping these intricate brain networks across species, we are not just observing neural structure, but uncovering the essence of how minds fumction, adapt, and potentially heal. This netwvork-based approach promises to bridge the gap between neurobiology and clinical symptoms, paving the way for more precise diagnoses and targeted treatments in psychiatry.
