Thomas Insel, MD, Director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), talks about Harnessing the Innate Plasticity of the Brain for Recovery | Psychiatric Times

Dr. Insel states, "We need to be thinking much more precisely about the circuitry that underlies both normal and abnormal behavior." Insel's presentation is about complexities beyond the chemical imbalance schema. Frankly, listening to the video and then reading the transcript was rather exciting for me.

Unfortunately, you may need to register to access the presentation.
Thanks for this!

That seems to be the way the current research is going. I was kind of disappointed the last director quit. I think he went to Harvard.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
