The Neurobiology of Mental Health

RDoC, fear circuits, and the biology beneath a diagnosis

NIMH's Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) proposes a dimensional, circuit-based alternative to the DSM's category system, built on real findings about fear circuitry and the HPA stress axis. This course teaches the biological substrate underneath psychiatric symptoms, not as a replacement for the clinic but as the layer beneath it.
