This commentary serves as a primer for trainees and experienced researchers who are new to neuroimaging of pediatric clinical populations. Non-invasive neuroimaging is now possible across the entire lifespan and encompasses a wide variety of tools and techniques. Developmental neuroimaging has been a fertile research ground for advancing new techniques and innovating approaches for group comparisons, including of those with psychopathology.

Oceanic states of consciousness-characterized by ego dissolution, unity, and timelessness-have long occupied a liminal space between psychopathology and transcendence. This paper explores these states through the interdisciplinary lens of existential neuroscience, integrating insights from psychoanalysis, existentialism, affective neuroscience, and psychedelic research. Starting with the psychoanalytic tension between Freud's view of the oceanic feeling as a regressive illusion and Jung's framing of it as a transformative encounter with the unconscious, this paper examines how creative and mystical experiences often arise from this dissolution of self-boundaries.

Introduction: Creative behavior has been associated with psychopathological traits, particularly in the psychotic spectrum. Aberrant salience, a transdiagnostic feature of psychosis vulnerability, may influence the creative process. This study aimed to investigate differences between artists and non-artists in aberrant salience, creativity, personality traits, and psychopathology.

It is also the English translation of the term "pathography," although the two terms differ significantly in both definition and usage. Originally, "pathography" was defined as "a description of disease," but it eventually shifted to "a description of an individual or of a community through disease.

Initially described in the mid-1980s, cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS; previously termed sluggish cognitive tempo) is a set of symptoms comprising excessive daydreaming, mental confusion, and hypoactivity that is distinct from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and other psychopathology dimensions and independently associated with functional outcomes. This article provides a broad overview of the history of the CDS construct, its terminology, and the current state of the science. Although there has been a marked upsurge in research on CDS, including psychometrically rigorous assessment tools and an emerging pattern of findings across numerous domains of functioning, the existing literature base also points to the importance of marshaling an ambitious research agenda that can guide CDS into its next era.
