Stanford Psychiatry's Nirao Shah has received a research grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to study the neural mechanisms of social attachment.

"Social attachments are important for our success and well-being, and disrupted attachments are often observed in mental illnesses," says Dr. Shah.

"Findings from our project will propel the field in new directions, enable new studies, and they may eventually inform therapeutic or diagnostic strategies to heal ruptured social attachments in mental health disorders."
