Background: The basolateral complex of the amygdala is a crucial neurobiological site for Pavlovian conditioning. Investigations into volumetric alterations of the basolateral amygdala in individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) have yielded conflicting results. These may be reconciled in an inverted U-shape allostatic growth trajectory.

Anxiety disorders are one of the top contributors to psychiatric burden worldwide. Recent years have seen a dramatic rise in the potential anxiolytic properties ascribed to cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating constituent of the Cannabis Sativa plant. This has led to several clinical trials underway to examine the therapeutic potential of CBD for anxiety disorders.

Genes discovered by previous epigenetic studies of schizophrenia have focused solely on diagnostics or pathology, potentially leading to a disconnection between them. Using these molecules to identify the disease is considered insufficient. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) binding to messenger RNAs (mRNAs) can lead to mRNA degradation, while circular RNAs (circRNAs), by binding to miRNAs as sponge, can reduce the inhibitory effect of miRNAs on mRNAs.

Substance use disorders (SUDs) represent a major challenge in psychiatric treatment, with significant relapse rates despite various psychotherapeutic interventions. This systematic review explores the neurobiological underpinnings of addiction and examines the efficacy of psychotherapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP), and emerging therapies in treating SUDs. Additionally, the study assesses how emerging biomarkers and neuroimaging data could enhance therapeutic outcomes by guiding personalized treatments.
