In 1996, the decision was made to establish and maintain long-term, large volume patient databases of descriptors and potential determinants that relate to the development and course of mental disorders in patients presenting to the Laureate Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital (LPCH). The LPCH has 85,000 psychiatric outpatient visits and 8000 hospitalizations per year, outscoring nearly all other such facilities in the U.S. Recognizing these features as holding unique possibilities for in-depth studies of mental disease, and that the organization and initiation of such studies in a new program were not likely to be funded from other granting sources, The William K. Warren Foundation in Tulsa, Oklahoma, having held a long interest in neuropsychiatric disease, pledged significant financial support, recognizing the long-term, prospective aspects requisite for such a study to yield substantive results. Warren Foundation initiated the Laureate Institute for Brain Research (LIBR) in which potential biomarkers, including genetic sampling and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of groups defined by partitioning of clinical phenotypes would be added to the longitudinal clinical studies to expand knowledge about the underlying pathogenetic features of mental disorders. The Foundation’s funding has provided ~40,000 sq. of space, an MRI scanner and associated stimulus delivery equipment and an extensive computing network, all research-dedicated. To address the complexity of neuroscience research, guiding principles in the development of LIBR have been to emphasize multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional involvement, as well as to gather young, proven talent from diverse fields, who share a common vision and who become committed to interacting on joint research. The initial staff group now has been assembled at the new LIBR facility, which opened in the summer of 2009.

Our President & Scientific Director, Dr. Martin Paulus, has been named a Highly Cited Researcher — placing him among the top 1% of faculty and researchers worldwide over the past decade.

This distinction from Clarivate recognizes researchers whose work shapes their fields and drives meaningful impact across the globe.

We’re proud to celebrate Dr. Paulus and the innovative research happening at LIBR every day.

👏 Join us in congratulating him on this incredible achievement!

Last week, our investigators gathered at POSTOAK Lodge for the 2025 annual scientific retreat. The gathering is a time to reflect on the progress of the institute over the past year and look ahead to future research endeavors through open discussion and engagement.

We’re grateful for the collaboration, curiosity, and shared purpose that continue to move our mission forward!

✨ New research from LIBR shows promise for noninvasive depression treatment.

Using gentle sound waves (low-intensity focused ultrasound), researchers led by Dr. Salvador Guinjoan found they could safely and temporarily “tune” brain circuits linked to depression—offering hope for future therapies that don’t rely on medication or surgery.

The Laureate Institute for Brain Research is launching a new investigational
study aimed to understand the effects of low-intensity focused ultrasound
on brain activity and post-traumatic stress symptoms for healthcare
workers.*

If you‘re a healthcare professional, ages 18–65, with exposure to trauma or
other stressful events at work in the last 6 months, you could be eligible to
participate.

*About 20–22% of first responders (including paramedics, firefighters, police) suffer
from PTSD, with paramedics on the higher end. (Front. Public Health, 08 March 2023)

**Approximately 6 out of 10 ED nurses in the U.S. reported clinically significant
secondary trauma symptoms in or before late 2023. (PubMedCentral, 2024 Mar 1)

🧠 Veterans with PTSD and traumatic brain injury (TBI) often experience a
combination of emotional and cognitive difficulties—and standard therapies may
not fully address both.

A new study tested SMART-CPT, a hybrid therapy that blends trauma-focused
treatment with cognitive rehabilitation tools.

Over 12 weeks of therapy, both SMART-CPT and standard CPT improved PTSD
symptoms, reduced cognitive complaints, and enhanced quality of life. But
SMART-CPT also delivered something extra:
✅ Better attention and working memory
✅ Improved verbal learning and memory
✅ Gains in novel problem-solving

Yesterday, we were honored to welcome Dr. Tian Ge, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School and Director of Data Science at MGH Center for Precision Psychiatry, for this month’s Frontiers in Neuroscience Lecture.

Dr. Ge’s presentation, “Leveraging Computational Approaches to Advance Precision Medicine,” explored how cutting-edge data science and imaging genetics are transforming our understanding of the brain — and paving the way toward more individualized treatment for mental health.

We’re grateful to Dr. Ge, our LIBR researchers, and everyone who joined us for this inspiring discussion!
