“Our expectation . . . is that identifying syndromes based on pathophysiology will eventually be able to improve outcomes.”
THOMAS INSEL, M.D. BRUCE CUTHBERT, Ph.D., Am J Psychiatry 167:7, July 2010
The NIMH is launching the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) project to create a framework for research on pathophysiology, especially for genomics and neuroscience, which ultimately will inform future DSM classification schemes.
