The Biological Psychiatry Podcast

The Biological Psychiatry Podcast is the official podcast of the Biological Psychiatry family of journals. Hosted by Social Media Editor Elvisha Dhamala, each episode features in-depth conversations with researchers about their latest work on psychiatric disorders, brain science, and mental health. The Biological Psychiatry journals advance scientific research and education in fields investigating the nature, causes, mechanisms, and treatments of disorders of thought, emotion, and behavior. This podcast makes the research accessible to both scientists and non-scientists. From innovative findings in neuroimaging and genetics to clinical trials and translational research, we explore the discoveries, implications, and future directions shaping the field of biological psychiatry.

  Trauma Exposure and the Visual Cortex

  Aug 20, 202627 minS0

  <p>In this episode of The Biological Psychiatry Podcast, Dr. Elvisha Dhamala sits down with Dr. Nathaniel Harnett from McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School to discuss his recent paper published in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging.</p><p></p><p>When we think about the neurobiology of PTSD, regions like the amygdala and prefrontal cortex typically come to mind. But an emerging body of research points to the visual cortex as potentially important for understanding trauma-related outcomes. A critical question, however, has remained unanswered: are changes in visual cortex structure a consequence of PTSD itself, or of trauma...

  White Matter Network Disruptions in Bipolar Disorder

  May 28, 202630 minS0

  <p>In this episode of The Biological Psychiatry Podcast, Dr. Elvisha Dhamala sits down with Dr. Leila Nabulsi from the University of Southern California to discuss her recent paper published in Biological Psychiatry.</p><p></p><p>The brain doesn't work as a collection of isolated parts, it works as a network, with white matter pathways acting as the wires that connect regions into functional circuits. But understanding how those connections are altered in bipolar disorder has been difficult, largely because most studies have been too small or too variable in their methods to produce reliable answers. In this conversation...

  Brain Development and Addictive Screen Use in Adolescents

  Apr 23, 202620 minS0

  <p>In this episode of The Biological Psychiatry Podcast, Dr. Elvisha Dhamala sits down with Dr. Omid Kardan from the University of Michigan to discuss his recent paper published in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging.</p><p></p><p>Screen time concerns are everywhere, but it's not just how much time young people spend on screens, it's how they use them. In this conversation, we explore whether differences in brain development during childhood can predict addictive patterns of screen use in early adolescence. Using data from the ABCD Study, Dr. Kardan's team found that delayed cortical maturation at ages 9...

  Prenatal Income Instability and the Parental Brain

  Apr 23, 202626 minS0

  <p>In this episode of The Biological Psychiatry Podcast, Dr. Elvisha Dhamala sits down with Dr. Pilyoung Kim from the University of Denver to discuss their recent paper published in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging.</p><p></p><p>Pregnancy transforms the brain to prepare for parenthood, but what happens when financial instability disrupts that process? In this conversation, we explore how income losses during pregnancy dampen brain responses to infant cries in the postpartum period, while income gains strengthen neural bonding with one's own baby. We discuss what these findings mean for understanding the neurobiology of parenting, why...
