from Part IV - Computational Modeling in Various Cognitive Fields
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 April 2023
While psychiatry has made great strides in recent decades toward integrating our increasing understanding of the biological bases of cognition, it nonetheless continues to suffer from imprecise diagnostics and blunt treatment options. Recent advances in computational neuroscience have the potential to address these issues, with a range of neural and cognitive models offering the possibility of a more precise psychiatric nosology with more targeted therapeutics. Here we review a variety of these models, with a special emphasis on their application to addiction, psychosis, anxiety disorders, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. We then close with a discussion of potential challenges in incorporating these insights and methods into a clinical setting.
