An NIMH-funded research consortium has produced the largest and most advanced multidimensional maps of gene regulation networks in the brains of people with and without mental disorders. “These groundbreaking findings advance our understanding of where, how, and when genetic risk contributes to mental disorders such as schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression,” said Joshua A. Gordon, M.D., Ph.D., NIMH Director. Read more: https://go.nih.gov/ZPIapRa.

Most of the time, behavioral expressions of anger and frustration are considered normal in children, but research has shown that high levels of irritability can be an early predictor of later mental illness. So, how can families and health care providers tell if a child’s irritability is a cause for concern? NIMH-supported research captures expressions of irritability across developmental stages via a clinically relevant measurement tool: the MAPS Temper Loss Scale. https://go.nih.gov/uNXdhDy

Join us on June 25 for the next NIMH Director's Innovation Speaker Series lecture featuring Dr. Anna Wexler. Dr. Wexler explores ethical challenges and considerations with expanding neurotechnology from controlled laboratory environments to consumer use. Dr. Wexler will draw on her research surrounding do-it-yourself, direct-to-consumer, and alternative neurotherapies to highlight the importance of addressing unintended uses of neurotechnology. Register to watch! https://go.nih.gov/9XrHsPo

This Request for Information (RFI) from NIH seeks input from healthcare providers, scientific research communities, patient advocacy groups, people with lived experience of brain or behavioral health disorders (e.g., substance use and mental health disorders), educators, and other interested parties. We invite your input on identifying and addressing gaps in the impact of structural racism on brain, cognitive (e.g., learning, memory, attention, decision-making), and behavioral function across the lifespan, and the role of structural and systemic racism on the conduct of brain and behavioral health research. Please respond by June 14, 2024! https://go.nih.gov/3S56Exf

Today is Clinical Trials Day! NIMH is the lead federal agency for research on mental disorders. Clinical research is critical to understanding and treating mental illnesses. At the heart of clinical research are clinical trials, research studies performed with people that aim to evaluate a medical, surgical, or behavioral intervention.

On June 13-14, please join us for a pivotal symposium addressing the critical public health issue of suicide in the Americas, jointly organized by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). With over 93,000 lives lost annually to suicide in the region and a 17% increase in suicide rates over the past two decades, the need for immediate, evidence-based action is clear. The symposium aims to unite researchers, policymakers, and mental health advocates to explore innovative strategies for suicide prevention, evidence-based prevention approaches, service delivery models, and national experiences in implementing these strategies. The symposium will be live-streamed with simultaneous translation in English and Spanish. Learn more at: https://go.nih.gov/wnGCURR
