PROJECT SUMMARY: Social disconnection (SDC) and suicide deaths are major public health concerns for the aging population. SDC is one of the strongest risk factors of suicidal ideation, attempts, and deaths in older adults, and is a modifiable target for suicide prevention efforts in this population. While accumulating evidence has established an association between SDC and late-life suicide risk, the neural mechanisms that underlie this association remain unknown. Consequently, our understanding of how to optimally intervene to mitigate the adverse effects of SDC on suicide risk in older adults is limited. To address this gap, we propose to conduct the first in vivo molecular imaging study…
