Heterogeneity and convergence across seven neuroimaging modalities: a review of the autism spectrum disorder literature.

Background: A growing body of literature classifies autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as a heterogeneous, complex neurodevelopmental disorder that often is identified prior to three years of age. We aim to provide a narrative review of key structural and functional properties that differentiate the neuroimaging profile of autistic youth from their typically developing (TD) peers across different neuroimaging modalities.

Methods: Relevant studies were identified by searching for key terms in PubMed, with the most recent search conducted on September 1, 2023.

Embodying AACAP's Presidential Initiative to Combat Digital Racism in Youth.

In her presidential initiative, AACAP President Dr. Tami Benton outlined her vision for the dynamic role of child and adolescent psychiatrists and their respective communities, encouraging them to transcend traditional clinical roles and become public health advocates by "Bringing the Village to the Children." This message emphasizes the capacity of child and adolescent psychiatrists to reach beyond clinical silos and identify partnerships across a variety of disciplines to improve child mental health.

Educating the next generation of psychiatrists in the use of clinical neuromodulation therapies: what should all psychiatry residents know?

A variety of neuromodulation treatments are available today and more are on the way, but are tomorrow's psychiatrists prepared to incorporate these tools into their patients' care plans? This article addresses the need for training in clinical neuromodulation for general psychiatry trainees. To ensure patient access to neuromodulation treatments, we believe that general psychiatrists should receive adequate education in a spectrum of neuromodulation modalities to identify potential candidates and integrate neuromodulation into their multidisciplinary care plans. We propose curricular development across the four FDA-cleared modalities currently available in psychiatric practice: electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), deep brain stimulation (DBS), and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS).
