Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]within a species, very different networks can produce the same behaviour; subtle effects of environmental context can translate into large differences in behaviour; experience can change the structure and functioning of the brain; damage to the same brain area can result in different behavioural outcomes across people; and at the non-human animal level, it is beginning to be seen that differences between transgenic mice have implications for human clinical conditions (e.g., anxiety). The concern of these authors related specifically to reproducible “brain-wide association studies” (BWAS) – defined as “studies of the associations between common inter-individual variability in human brain structure/function and cognition or psychiatric symptomatology” (p. 654). Reproducible BWAS may require large sample sizes, and luckily these are becoming increasingly attainable with resources like the UK Biobank, Human Connectome Project, and the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study. Other papers published since its inception attest to the diversity of the field, covering such areas: narcissism (Jauk & Kanske, 2021); machine learning approaches for parsing comorbidity and heterogeneity in antisociality and substance use disorders (Shane & Denomme, 2001); ketamine and neuroticism (McNaughton & Glue, 2020); anxiety and mindfulness (Jaiswal, Mugglen, Juan, & Liang, 2019); openness to experience and dopamine effects on divergent thinking (Käckenmester, Bott, & Wacker, 2019); behavioural inhibition system dysfunction and ADHD (Sadeghi et al., 2019); the neurobiological and environmental aetiology of psychopathy (Frazier, Ferreira, & Gonzales, 2019); curiosity as a fundamental aspect of personality (Zurn & Bassett, 2018); virtual personalities neural network models and their neurobiological underpinnings (Read, Brown, Wang, & Miller, 2018); neuroanatomical correlates of hierarchical personality traits in chimpanzees, and their associations with limbic structures (Latzman, Boysen, & Schapiro, 2018); and the opportunities for personality neuroscience of network approaches to understanding individual differences in brain connectivity (Tompson, Falk, Vettel, & Bassett, 2018).
