Australia's endemic mental health burden is predicted to escalate as its population ages. This project will: (1) endow medicine with a diagnostic capability enabling earlier and more-accurate diagnosis of brain disorders and mental illnesses; and, (2) pinpoint brain circuit disruptions telltale of particular diseases. This is a world-first and promises a scientific basis for new-generation therapies and treatments. This project will enable the APD to disseminate the specialist knowledge acquired as an ARC Fellow at Harvard in 2008 to Australian researchers, thereby advancing Australia's international standing in science.

随着人口老龄化，澳大利亚普遍存在的心理健康负担预计将会加剧。该项目将：(1)赋予医学诊断能力，使其能够更早、更准确地诊断大脑疾病和精神疾病；以及(2)准确定位大脑电路中断，告知特定疾病。这是世界上第一次，并为新一代疗法和治疗提供了科学基础。该项目将使apd能够将2008年作为ARC研究员在哈佛获得的专业知识传播给澳大利亚研究人员，从而提高澳大利亚在科学方面的国际地位。
