RuCCS - Dr. Albert Powers - In Person Talk - Tuesday, April 07, 2026

Despite the presence of relatively effective treatments and increasing knowledge of the basic science of psychiatric illness, the field has yet to create a diagnostic scheme based in knowledge of pathophysiology. In this talk, we will discuss how insights into the computational underpinnings of psychotic symptoms can serve as a bridge across levels of description and across time as psychosis develops. With this framework in mind, we will explore ways to build upon these insights to develop new ways of understanding prevention and treatment of psychotic illnesses.
