A conceptual framework for the neurobiological study of resilience

TL;DR: This work proposes a unified theoretical framework for the neuroscientific study of general resilience mechanisms and posits that a positive (non-negative) appraisal style is the key mechanism that protects against the detrimental effects of stress and mediates the effects of other known resilience factors.

Serotonin and brain function: a tale of two receptors

TL;DR: This bipartite model purports to explain how different drugs (SSRIs and psychedelics) that modulate the serotonergic system in different ways, can achieve complementary adaptive and potentially therapeutic outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computational psychiatry: the brain as a phantastic organ

TL;DR: It is shown how basic principles of neuronal computation can be used to explain psychopathology, ranging from impoverished theory of mind in autism to abnormalities of smooth pursuit eye movements in schizophrenia.

Behavioral Game Theory: Experiments in Strategic Interaction
