9. @VUMCPsych @VUMChealth @IUBloomington Press Release:

8. These results have dramatic implications for treatment of psychomotor function in psychotic disorders, as they suggest a unifying role of DMN connectivity in psychomotor disturbance, overall function, and well-being 😌.

7. We identified significant relationships between the same brain 🧠 regions and their connectivity patterns to the DMN that were related to well-being, overall function, and grip strength 💪.

6. Higher grip strength 💪 was correlated with greater connectivity from multiple brain regions to the DMN. Given associations between grip strength and well-being, we repeated this analysis to see if we would identify similar brain correlates for grip and well-being – and we did.

5. Using data from the multi-site Human Connectome Project for Early Psychosis (HCP-EP, n=206), we performed a multivariate pattern analysis of the entire connectome 🧠 to identify brain circuits linked to grip strength 💪, overall function, and well-being 😌.

4. The brain correlates of grip strength have been presumed to lie in the motor system, so previous brain analyses are frequently restricted to motor regions. However, a unifying brain circuit explanation linking grip strength and overall well-being has remained elusive until now.

3. Grip strength 💪 is one measure of motor function associated with all-cause mortality and overall well-being. It has been assumed that associations between grip strength and well-being are purely related to mechanical impairments reflective of overall poorer physical health.

2. Psychomotor disturbance 🏃‍♂️ is highly prevalent across psychiatric disorders and has many manifestations, e.g., catatonia, psychomotor retardation, psychomotor agitation, etc. But what is the neurobiological mechanism of psychomotor disturbance in psychiatric disorders?.
