Abstract

Using linear Support Vector Regression with activations from 268 nodes across the brain, we predicted childhood irritability (measured by parent- and child-reports) with high performance (r =0.47, root mean square error [RMSE]=2.40). Activations in the prefrontal cortex, caudate, thalamus, parietal lobe, and cerebellum were the most predictive features of irritability.
