large scale brain network

In today's conversation, we'll discuss the evolution of TMS for PTSD, the growing move towards precision psychiatry, what we've learned from accelerated stimulation approaches, and why focused ultrasounds may represent the next major leap forward in psychiatric neuromodulation.

We'll also explore his views on biomarkers, brain networks and where he believes the field will be heading over the next decade.

Hi, I'm Dr Trevor Brown, and today I'm delighted to be joined by one of the leading voices in psychiatric neuromodulation, Dr. Noah Philip, who's a professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University.

Noah's stated mission is to design, develop and deploy neuromodulation treatments for PTSD, depression and suicidality.

That's how we've treated this historically.

However, it is really an under-connectivity and dysregulation of certain brain networks.

So the point is to really understand how to treat anxiety successfully for long-term success, we have to understand what is going on in the brain.

So first, before we go into that, which we will do a lot of breakdown of what networks are actually involved and actually different types of anxiety that people often experience, we need to maybe get an idea of how big of a problem this has been, especially in children.

There's emotional trauma.

There can be physical trauma that is involved with these kids or adults that happen that lead to this anxiety.

But it's really important to know, even with this trauma, what really happens, it causes a dysregulation of brain networks.

So again, that's what we really need to get down to is what are the main issues in the brain and the nervous system that are creating this symptomatology and this problem.
