DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Mappings

Diagnostic category references for threat modeling, not diagnostic claims.

F41.0 Panic Disorder F40.01 Agoraphobia

Pathway: I0 (mastoid electrodes) → N1 (vestibular nerve) → N3 (vestibular nuclei) → N4 (cortical integration)

Following Poldrack (2006), brain region disruption does not uniquely predict psychiatric outcomes.
