DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed application will provide the candidate with the needed expertise to establish an independent research career focusing on the investigation of the neurobiology suicide attempt in children and adolescents. The applicant is a child and adolescent psychiatrist who proposes to obtain multidisciplinary training from mentors in suicidology and functional neuroimaging, with a panel of experts in childhood neurobiology, child development, neuroimaging, and data analysis. We propose to use established methods in functional neuroimaging and neuroscience to characterize the neurobiology underlying early onset suicide attempt. We will assess these adolescents, and age-matched psychiatric controls and healthy controls with well-established neurocognitive tasks. We hypothesize that history of suicide attempt in adolescents will be associated with differences in patterns of neural activity compared with both psychiatric and healthy controls. The primary objective of this research project is to examine the neural circuitry underlying traitdependent abnormalities in cognitive and emotion processing in adolescents with depression with and without history of suicide attempt, by focusing on the following areas: emotional processing, cognitive control, and risky decision-making, that have been demonstrated to recruit ventral and dorsomedial prefrontal cortices and amygdala and ventral striatum, dorsal prefrontal cortical regions, and ventromedial and dorsomedial prefrontal cortices, respectively. Our study of the neural circuitry of adolescent suicide attempt is important in that it will help to more precisely define: 1) cognitive and affective processing abnormalities associated with suicidal behavior; 2) functional neurocircuitry related to these neurocognitive abnormalities; and, in turn, 3) the relationship between these abnormalities and onset and history of suicidal behavior. Increased understanding of these neural markers will have a significant impact upon the future targeting of treatment and prevention efforts to improve the long-term outcome of individuals with suicidal behavior. This is the first study of its kind in a pediatric population. The functional neuroimaging instruction, didactics, coursework, and clinical research training, sponsored by Mary Phillips, M.D., M.D. (Cantab), Director of the Functional Neuroimaging Program, and David Brent, M.D., Endowed Chair in Suicide Studies, will prepare the candidate to perform multidisciplinary cognitive neuroscience research in adolescent suicide prevention. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Identification of markers for suicide risk and increased understanding of the cognitive neuroscience of suicide attempt may have a significant impact upon the future design and monitoring of treatment and prevention efforts to prevent death and improve the long-term outcome of individuals with suicidal behavior. This is the first study of its kind in adolescents.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的申请将为候选人提供所需的专业知识，以建立一个独立的研究生涯，重点是儿童和青少年的神经生物学自杀企图的调查。申请人是一名儿童和青少年精神科医生，他建议从自杀学和功能性神经影像学的导师那里获得多学科培训，并由儿童神经生物学，儿童发育，神经影像学和数据分析的专家小组组成。我们建议使用功能性神经影像学和神经科学的既定方法来表征早发性自杀企图的神经生物学基础。我们将评估这些青少年，以及年龄匹配的精神病对照组和健康对照组，并进行完善的神经认知任务。我们假设，青少年自杀未遂史与精神病和健康对照组的神经活动模式差异有关。本研究项目的主要目的是研究特质依赖的神经回路 在有和没有自杀企图史的抑郁症青少年中，通过关注以下领域的认知和情绪处理异常：情绪处理，认知控制和风险决策，已被证明分别招募腹侧和背内侧前额叶皮质和杏仁核和腹侧纹状体，背侧前额叶皮质区，腹内侧和背内侧前额叶皮质。我们对青少年自杀未遂的神经回路的研究很重要，因为它将有助于更准确地定义：1）与自杀行为相关的认知和情感处理异常; 2）与这些神经认知异常相关的功能神经回路;反过来，3）这些异常与自杀行为的发生和历史之间的关系。对这些神经标志物的进一步了解将对未来的治疗和预防工作产生重大影响，以改善自杀行为个体的长期结局。 这是第一次在儿科人群中进行此类研究。功能神经影像学教学、教学法、课程作业和临床研究培训，由玛丽·菲利普斯医学博士赞助M.D.（Cantab），功能性神经成像项目主任，和大卫布伦特，医学博士，在自杀研究赋予主席，将准备候选人进行多学科的认知神经科学研究在青少年自杀预防。 公共卫生相关性： 确定自杀风险的标志物，并增加对认知神经科学的理解， 自杀企图可能对未来的治疗设计和监测产生重大影响， 预防工作，以防止死亡和改善自杀行为的个人的长期结果。 这是首次在青少年中进行此类研究。
