The theme of this symposium is the impact of brain imaging on clinical psychiatry. Brain imaging has advanced understanding of psychiatric disorders and infuenced the diagniosis of and therapies for them. Here, I focused on the impact of brain imaging on therapies in psychiatry. With recent advances in noninvasive in vivo human brain imaging (fMRI/PET), it has become possible to investigate deep structures and molecular mechanisms in the brain. Thus, brain imaging plays an important role in understanding the mechanisms of current treatments, optimizing these treatments, and advancing them. On the other hand, with the dissemination of noninvasive human neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI, interdisciplinary neuroimaging studies on emotions and decision-making have been accelerated. I also introduced our recent brain imaging work to assess decision-making and possible intervention for impaired decision-making in neuropsychiatric disorders.
本次研讨会的主题是脑成像对临床精神病学的影响。脑成像增进了我们对精神疾病的理解，并影响了其诊断和治疗。在此，我重点关注脑成像对精神病学治疗的影响。随着非侵入性活体人脑成像技术（功能磁共振成像/正电子发射断层扫描）的最新进展，研究大脑深部结构和分子机制已成为可能。因此，脑成像在理解当前治疗机制、优化这些治疗以及推动其发展方面发挥着重要作用。另一方面，随着功能磁共振成像等非侵入性人类神经成像技术的普及，关于情绪和决策的跨学科神经成像研究加速推进。我还介绍了我们最近的脑成像研究工作，以评估神经精神疾病中的决策过程以及对受损决策进行可能的干预。
