Hello everyone,
In this issue of our newsletter, we are pleased to announce the theme of our meeting in New York May 10-12, 2018: "Biomarkers, Biomodels and Psychiatric Disorders.” SOBP President Carol Tamminga, and Chair of the Scientific Program Committee, Lori McMahon, chose this theme in order to use SOBP and the annual meeting to critically review and formulate emerging brain biomodels. With the rapid advances in technology particularly in the past decade, the field of neuroscience has never been richer, our understanding for the brain never fuller, and yet we continue to struggle to apply these technologies and emerging models to molecular neuropathophysiology, psychiatric disease definition and novel treatment development and response prediction.
