Precision Mental Health in Action. ✨🧠

From groundbreaking ideas to meaningful conversations, our 6th Annual Precision Mental Health Symposium brought together researchers, clinicians, innovators, and community members to explore the future of mental health.

Now, you can revisit the moments that brought us together. 📸 Photos from the day are now live on our website!

🏅 Congratulations to our own Karl Deisseroth, MD, PhD, on receiving the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine!

Dr. Deisseroth, a member of the Stanford Center for Precision Mental Health and professor of bioengineering and of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, shares this year’s Nobel Prize with Peter Hegemann, PhD, and Georg Nagel, PhD, for discoveries that led to the development of optogenetics, the transformative technology that enables scientists to control the activity of specific nerve cells using light.

Optogenetics revolutionized neuroscience, giving researchers an unprecedented ability to establish how specific cells and brain circuits causally contribute to behavior and opening new avenues for understanding the circuitry underlying psychiatric and neurological conditions.

For our Center, this recognition is especially meaningful. Karl’s work helped establish brain circuits as a fundamental level for understanding behavior and neuropsychiatric illness. We have had the privilege of building on that foundation together through our NIDA P50 Center of Excellence, where we collaborate on human studies examining how ketamine, M**A and psilocybin engage brain circuits, work that complements our broader efforts to translate circuit science into more precise approaches to mental health treatment.

We are extraordinarily proud to have Karl as a member of our Center and thrilled to celebrate this remarkable and richly deserved recognition.

Congratulations, Karl!

🧠 Precision Mental Health Week | Transforming Mental Health Through Brain Circuit Science

From Circuits to Communities

What happens when a brain scan becomes part of the clinical conversation?

At last year’s Stanford Precision Mental Health Symposium, Dr. Eric van Staalduinen gave the talk “From Scan to Solution: The Role of Neuroimaging in Diagnosis and Treatment Planning,” exploring how neuroimaging can contribute to understanding mental health and informing individualized approaches to care.

Watch Dr. van Staalduinen talk from last year:

This research-to-clinic connection is reflected in the Stanford Precision Psychiatry Clinic, a consultation service affiliated with the Center for Precision Mental Health. The clinic integrates functional brain imaging into the psychiatric evaluation to inform individualized treatment planning for patients with depression and anxiety.

The goal of precision mental health is not simply to understand the brain in greater detail. It is to explore how that knowledge can be translated into more individualized care.

From Circuits to Communities

How can precision mental health research help us better understand—and better treat—depression?

At our 2024 Precision Mental Health Symposium, Rachel Hilton, PhD-c, RN, PMHNP-BC, gave a talk on “Targeting Cognition in Depression,” highlighting the importance of understanding cognitive symptoms and individual differences in depression as we work toward more precise approaches to treatment.

That connection between research and care is also at the heart of the Stanford Precision Psychiatry Clinic.

From circuits to communities, precision mental health is about translating what we learn through research into approaches that can make a difference in people’s lives.

🧠 DAY 2 | Meet the People Behind the Science

Computational methods and brain-based data are transforming psychiatry. Two people with the same diagnosis can differ fundamentally in neurobiology and treatment response. Normative models and AI foundation models can capture this individual variation, moving the field from one-size-fits-all toward precision care that guides the right treatment to the right person.

Today, we’re highlighting Dr. Teddy Akiki and his work featured in Nature Computational Science: Transforming psychiatry with computational and brain-based methods.

🔬 Read the paper: nature.com/articles/s43588-025-00884-9

Want to meet the people behind this work?
Join us September 25 at the 6th Annual Precision Mental Health Symposium, where Dr. Akiki will chair:
Biomarkers and Precision Therapeutics: Transformational Strategies in Mental Health

Come hear the science, connect with researchers, and meet the people working to transform mental health through brain circuit science.

🧠 Kicking off Precision Mental Health Week | Transforming Mental Health Through Brain Circuit Science

The future of mental health starts with discovery.

By studying how brain circuits shape thoughts, emotions, and behavior, researchers are uncovering new ways to understand mental health—and new possibilities for more precise approaches to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

🎧 Start your week with discovery: Listen to Dr. Leanne Williams’ interview on From Your Neurons to Ours podcast with the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, where she explores how brain imaging is transforming mental health and where the field is headed next.

We look forward to hearing more from Dr. Williams on State of the Field and the Next Era of Precision Mental Health at our 6th Annual Stanford Precision Mental Health Symposium on Friday, September 25.

Discover where precision mental health is going.
