Overview

Jair C. Soares is affiliated with The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston in the United States. Their research spans medicine and neuroscience, focusing significantly on psychiatry and mental health, clinical psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neurology, and biological psychiatry.

The scientist's recent publications cover a range of topics related to major depressive disorder and other psychiatric conditions. Notable papers include:

  • Single-Dose Psilocybin for a Treatment-Resistant Episode of Major Depression, 2022, New England Journal of Medicine
  • The kynurenine pathway in major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia: a meta-analysis of 101 studies, 2020, Molecular Psychiatry
  • Brain aging in major depressive disorder: results from the ENIGMA major depressive disorder working group, 2020, Molecular Psychiatry
  • The identification, assessment and management of difficult-to-treat depression: An international consensus statement, 2020, Journal of Affective Disorders
  • ENIGMA MDD: seven years of global neuroimaging studies of major depression through worldwide data sharing, 2020, Translational Psychiatry

Their work frequently appears in journals such as Biological Psychiatry, Journal of Affective Disorders, Molecular Psychiatry, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), and UNC Libraries.

Co-authorship has been consistent with researchers including Marsal Sanches, João Quevedo, Benson Mwangi, Alexandre Paim Díaz, and Sudhakar Selvaraj. These collaborations reflect a focus on psychiatric disorders and neuroimaging studies.

Main research topics include:

  • Bipolar Disorder and Treatment
  • Functional Brain Connectivity Studies
  • Tryptophan and brain disorders
  • Treatment of Major Depression
  • Adolescent and Pediatric Healthcare
  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Studies
  • Electroconvulsive Therapy Studies

The breadth of their scientific inquiry covers both clinical and biological aspects of psychiatric diseases, contributing data-driven insights into treatment-resistant depression, brain aging in psychiatric conditions, and neurobiological pathways involved in mood disorders.
