It was a privilege to be part of this, but I also had some critical reflections on how tricky it is to get the balance right between engaging a wide audience and making sure the message is balanced, accurate and evidence-based.

Thanks, the model helps focus on key symptoms and neuropsychological causes

Thanks so much Monika! 😀
Hello Monika, it would be wonderful to be added , I am working on cognitive neuroscience and mood disorders.

neuroanatomical networks relevant to our model of mood disorders
The EFEC model assumes that cortical and subcortical areas are not in competition but integrate information to arrive at adaptive representations of social knowledge and moral motivations. A depiction of the key structures is reproduced in this paper but linked more specifically to mood disorders.
Particular thanks to Jorge Moll and Ricardo Oliveira-Souza with whom the latest version of our event-feature-emotion complex framework model was developed, an extension of Jordan Grafman's structured event complex model of the prefrontal cortex (DOI: 10.1038/nrn1768).
Early neurocognitive target validation studies from fMRI neurofeedback are reviewed. This work would not have been possible without all my PhD students, postdocs and collaborators whose work I have tried to summarise.
3-dimensional model of mood states
These mood states can be distinguished when using 3 dimensions (self-worth, action tendency (approach vs. withdrawal) and valence (positive vs. negative).
The translational cognitive neuroscience approach identifies "interest" and "self-worth" as necessary and distinctive symptom dimensions of mood disorders and proposes four clinically relevant mood states (depressed, anxious, irritable, and elated) which can mix dynamically.
The role of anterior temporal and subgenual cortices, as well as septal, hypothalamic, striatal and amygdala contributions and their potential as neurocognitive treatment targets for neurofeedback and neuromodulation is discussed.
this narrative review in the special issue for the International Society for Affective Disorders conference is hopefully of interest.

For anyone interested in linking classical psychopathology and phenomenology of symptoms (Jaspers, Kraepelin) in mood disorders, with modern symptom network analyses and cognitive neuroscience,
In 2016, TV reporter James Longman met with IoPPN researchers Profs @cathrynlewis.bsky.social & Roland Zahn on BBC Two to understand how #depression can run in families.
His new memoir #TheInheritedMind documents his personal investigation into mental illness.

Many congratulations Nahed Lajmi for this outstanding IoPPN MSc Affective Disorders thesis project and paper. This highly innovative proof-of-concept study in a non-clinical sample was inspired by Brazilian Bossa Nova.
