Abstract
Half a century of neuroimaging has transformed our understanding of psychiatric disorders but not our clinical practice. This piece examines why that promise remains unfulfilled and argues that the future lies not in ever newer tools but in rigorous, mechanistically grounded and clinically embedded imaging approaches that bridge brains, behaviours and treatments.
