Why mental

Oxytocin is believed to play a role in various behaviors,
including orgasm, social recognition, pair bonding, anxiety …
it is sometimes referred to as the "love hormone".

The inability to secrete oxytocin and feel empathy is              I think…
linked to sociopathy, psychopathy, narcissism and
general manipulativeness.

Bio-ontologies facilitate
           interdisciplinary scientific research
1. Standardised vocabulary with definitions and
   synonyms for unified database annotations
2. Hierarchical organisation for aggregation and multi-
   level comparison of results
3. Community adoption for comparison of results to
   other project results worldwide
4. Explicit relationships and underlying logic for
   automated reasoning to related entities
5. Explicit bridging relationships between different
   ontologies for exploring underlying mechanisms

Population-wide science depends on
                aggregation of data
Are there genes significantly enriched in all people
  who suffer from some addiction?

Are there differences between those people who
  suffer from substance addiction compared to
  those who suffer from process addictions?

Are there differences between those people who
  suffer from opiate substance addictions and
  those who suffer from addictions to
  benzodiazepines?

Computers can’t “see” implicit

 Substance addiction is characterised by symptoms such as
   preoccupation with substance and repeated failed
   attempts to control the use of the substance. These are
   non-canonical thinking and planning activities.
 But, there is no easy way to automatically compare with
   data from other conditions that have similar symptoms.

  • 2. Why mental functioning? I want… Oxytocin is believed to play a role in various behaviors, including orgasm, social recognition, pair bonding, anxiety … it is sometimes referred to as the "love hormone". The inability to secrete oxytocin and feel empathy is I think… linked to sociopathy, psychopathy, narcissism and general manipulativeness. Tuesday, August 07, 2012 2

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. (Not the million dollar question, but the many billion dollars question!)We’re drowning in data and starving for knowledge! Not only different domains BUT different methods and different subjects (model organisms etc)Huge piles of different sorts of information coming out of different research areas. DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES: if you try to get people to agree on names, they just don’t. But give them semantics-free identifiers and their own preferred (scoped) synonyms and you can get agreement on the definitions. Nobody is an expert in everything, most scientists are stuck in their narrow area of focus and expertise (which is a good thing for progress because you HAVE to become that specialised)
  2. Different interpretations for the same results can ensue; based on the underlying theory of mental functioning. Linking the theory directly to the paradigm (tests) and the research results allows more straightforward generation of testable hypothesis for evaluating different theories… getting away from conceptual arguments, or at least helping to resolve them(Explicit logical formulation)
  3. SNOMED, MeSH, ICD, ICF, Cognitive Atlas, Cognitive Paradigm Ontology, We will build on these vocabulary resources as sources, but maintain links so that we don’t lose mappings which have already been annotated to these sources.Most of these sources maintain controlled vocabularies but not real ontologies. There is a shortage of explicit relationships and formal (computable) definitions, so you can’t make computational inferences.
  4. Mental functioning related anatomical structure: an anatomical structure in which there inheres the disposition to be the agent of a mental processBehaviour inducing state: a bodily quality inhering in a mental functioning related anatomical structure which leads to behaviour of some sortAffective representation: a cognitive representation sustained by an organism about its own emotionsCognitive representation: a representation which specifically depends on an anatomical structure in the cognitive system of an organismMental process: a bodily process which brings into being, sustains or modifies a cognitive representation or a behaviour inducing state
  5. Arrows show ‘imports’ relationships between ontologies
  6. Software engineering for integrative question-answering is made much easier by this approach, as the IDs are well-behaved strings – uniform length, numeric identifiers for quick lookup / indexing and so on.
  7. Obviously, these questions leave aside the complexities of co-occurrences, but for the higher-level questions that would present no problem as long as aggregation occurred with the count of instances not the count of types. For the comparative questions at the lower level, you would want to exclude co-occurrences from the analysis if you were looking for genes that comparatively differed between the different classes.
  8. Each database has different organisation and search criteria – here it is patient diagnosis and keywords, or at least those were the only two fields that I could find were relevant.
  9. This desideratum may sound like wishful thinking but in fact it is ALREADY IN PLACE for the Gene Ontology and most biological databases. Databases listed here are a small selection of those that include fMRI coordinate data. For a discussion of the various brain imaging methods and results in studies of addiction, see: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2851068/ ‘Imaging the addicted human brain’
  10. It would be useful, therefore, to compare data for addicted patients with data for patients with other preoccupations or failed goal-directed behaviours. But no computational methods facilitate this type of cross-searching at present. Again, it comes down to human effort to find or create the right sort of data. Targeted studies can be designed that do this on a one-by-one basis: see, for example, http://jnnp.bmj.com/content/68/6/731.full – which compares data on dysexecutive syndrome with patients who have alcoholism. Good study design is always a good idea, but the availability of published data on various conditions would allow re-use of that data in other contexts, if the links from symptoms to disorders were made more explicit.
  11. Psychological standard test for ‘dysexective syndrome’ => failure of normal executive functions such as planning, organising, initiating … => http://www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/no2-sum-03-test-review-2.pdfFootnote: data should be compared only if it makes sense to do so! That’s the reason for explicitly characterising and classifying symptoms
  12. Pathway illustration sourced from KEGG: http://www.kegg.jp/kegg-bin/highlight_pathway?scale=1.0&map=map05030&keyword=addictionNMR spectrum illustration (of a derivative of cocaine) comes from http://www.justice.gov/dea/programs/forensicsci/microgram/journal_v4_num14/pg5.html
  13. This data on metabolites of cocaine was sourced from the Human Metabolome Database (HMDB): http://www.hmdb.ca/metabolites/HMDB06348
  14. This is, of course, just one tiny part of the story. The overall story would have to be built up out of many, many cross-ontology links.
  15. Depression and bipolar disorder are paradigm affective disorders.
