DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Mappings
Diagnostic category references for threat modeling, not diagnostic claims.
Pathway: N4 (Wernicke's area) → N5 (auditory association cortex) → language comprehension network — receptive aphasia
Following Poldrack (2006), brain region disruption does not uniquely predict psychiatric outcomes.

Population Vulnerability
CRB vulnerability adjustment (γ=0.30) accounts for age, diagnosis severity, consent capacity, and device dependency.
| Population | NISS Base | Adjusted | Severity | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adult (Default) | 4.0 | 4.0 | Medium | - |
| Child (10yr) + ADHD | 4.0 | 4.7 | Medium | +0.71 |
| Adult with ALS | 4.0 | 4.6 | Medium | +0.64 |
