    Computational neuropsychiatry explains psychopathology through neuronal message passing and belief propagation in networks.

  • 2

    Active Inference (AI) maximizes Bayesian model evidence and minimizes variational free energy to explain neuronal processing.

  • 3

    Dysconnection in neuronal networks leads to erroneous inference and psychiatric symptoms, distinguishing it from brain function disorders.

  • 4

    Synaptopathy, affecting most psychiatric disorders, results in dysfunctional synaptic function and rigid or overly sensitive inferences.

  • 5

    The distinction between disconnection and dysconnection syndromes aids in developing improved models of neuropsychiatric symptoms.
