 | Interoceptive Predictions in the Brain Congratulations to Dr. Kyle Simmons and his collaborator Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett on their publication in the prestigious journal Nature Reviews Neuroscience. In the paper, "Interoceptive Predictions in the Brain", they discuss a model of how interoceptive predictions are formed in the brain and how disruptions could function as a common vulnerability for mental and physical illness.  |

Dr. Martin Paulus' work on resilience with Marine infantry platoons and Olympic BMX athletes has been featured in the article "The Science of Bouncing Back" as part of the Frontiers of Medicine section in TIME Magazine.
"By the end of [mindfulness] training, their brains actually looked more resilient, Paulus says. “We were able to show, at least in the brain, that we can train people to modify their brain processes toward the direction of resilience.” Risk-Prediction Model for Clinical Psychiatry Dr. Martin Paulus has published a viewpoint article in JAMA Psychiatry that highlights the difficulties of making neuroscience useful for clinical psychiatry and advocates for a risk-prediction model in the development of impactful biological psychiatry to help patients now. LIBR's Tulsa 1000 study is based on this premise of making an impact on everyday psychiatric practice.   Our first annual report publication provides an overview of 2014 happenings at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research.
