  PSYCH 018: Genome, Transcriptome, and Proteome: The Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry, and Multi-Omics Underlying the Neurobiology of Mental Disorders

  Jun 1, 20261h 3mS13

  <p>If genes are the script, they are only the beginning of the story. This chapter expands the lens to multiple layers of biological information - genome, transcriptome, and proteome - revealing how psychiatric disorders emerge not from single mutations, but from complex systems of regulation and interaction.</p><p>In this episode, we explore how the genome provides the foundational code, while the transcriptome reflects which genes are actively expressed, and the proteome represents the functional molecules that carry out biological processes. Together, these layers form a dynamic, multi-level system - often referred to as “multi-omics”.</p><p>We exam...

  PSYCH 017: Basic Science of Appetite

  May 31, 20261h 8mS13

  <p>Appetite is often mistaken for a simple biological drive, but it is in fact a finely regulated system integrating energy balance, reward, emotion, and cognition. This chapter explores how the brain determines when to eat, what to eat, and when to stop.</p><p>In this episode, we examine the interplay between homeostatic systems - which monitor energy needs - and hedonic systems, which assign pleasure and reward to food. The hypothalamus plays a central role in maintaining balance, responding to hormonal signals such as leptin and ghrelin. At the same time, reward circuits involving dopamine shape motivation and...

  PSYCH 016: Pain Systems: Interface with Affective and Motivational Mechanisms

  May 30, 202647 minS13

  <p>Pain is often described as a sensory experience, but in psychiatry it is something far more complex. This chapter explores how pain is constructed at the intersection of sensory input, emotional processing, and motivational systems.</p><p>In this episode, we examine how nociceptive signals are only the beginning. The brain interprets these signals through networks involving the insula, anterior cingulate cortex, limbic structures, and prefrontal regions - transforming raw input into subjective experience.</p><p>Pain is therefore not just about intensity, but about meaning. The same stimulus can be experienced differently depending on context, expectation, mood, and...

  PSYCH 015: Basic Science of Sleep

  May 29, 20261h 7mS13

  <p>Sleep is often treated as absence - a passive state where the brain switches off. This chapter challenges that notion, revealing sleep as an active, highly organised process essential for brain function and mental health.</p><p>In this episode, we explore the architecture of sleep - its stages, cycles, and regulatory systems. Non-REM and REM sleep represent distinct physiological states, each contributing differently to restoration, memory consolidation, and emotional processing.</p><p>We examine how sleep is governed by two interacting systems: the circadian rhythm and the homeostatic drive. Together, they determine when we sleep, how deeply, and...

  PSYCH 014: Chronobiology, Circadian Rhythm, and Psychiatry

  May 28, 202651 minS13

  <p>The brain does not function in a constant state - it operates in rhythms. This chapter explores chronobiology and circadian systems, revealing how internal biological clocks organise sleep, energy, cognition, and emotional regulation across the day.</p><p>In this episode, we examine the circadian system as a master regulator, synchronising physiological and psychological processes with environmental cues such as light and darkness. The suprachiasmatic nucleus acts as a central pacemaker, coordinating peripheral systems and maintaining temporal order.</p><p>We explore how disruptions in these rhythms - whether through lifestyle, illness, or intrinsic vulnerability - can profoundly affect...
