Abstract

The advent of neuroimaging has provided foundational insights into the neural basis of psychiatric conditions, such as major depression. Across countless studies, dysfunction has been localized to distinct parts of the limbic system. Specific knowledge about affected locations has led to the development of circuit modulation therapies to correct dysfunction, notably deep brain stimulation (DBS). This and other emerging neuromodulation approaches have shown great promise, but their refinement has been slow and fundamental questions about their mechanisms of action remain. Here, we argue that their continued development requires reverse translation to animal models with close homology to humans, namely, nonhuman primates. With a particular focus on DBS approaches for depression, we highlight the parts of the brain that have been targeted by neuromodulation in humans, their efficacy, and why nonhuman primates are the most suitable model in which to conduct their refinement. We finish by highlighting key gaps in our knowledge that need to be filled to allow more rapid progress toward effective therapies in patients for whom all other treatment attempts have failed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
