1. A computer implemented method for determining the efficacy of neuropsychiatric therapy, the computer implemented method comprising:

  • automatically comparing a first set of regions of interest in a first set of scans taken at a first time to a second set of regions of interest in a second set of scans generated at a second time period, by a neuroimage mapping manager, wherein a region of interest is an area that shows an indication of a potential abnormality, an area that shows an indication of potential disease, or an area that is expected to change due to therapy;

    identifying a set of changes in the regions of interest occurring over time based on the comparison of the first set of regions of interest to the second set of regions of interest;

    searching a set of electronic medical literature sources for medical literature relevant to the set of changes in the regions of interest occurring over time to form relevant medical literature;

    identifying portions of the relevant medical literature associated with the set of changes in the regions of interest; and

    generating neuroimage mapping results, wherein the neuroimage mapping results comprises the set of changes in the regions of interest and a set of links to the portions of the relevant medical literature that are correlated to the regions of interest or the changes in the regions of interest.
