The predictive value of currently identified biological risk factors for suicide is limited, and a reliable biological risk marker has yet to be identified. Therefore, there is an urgent need to better understand the mechanisms that increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs), and the identification of biological markers of risk is crucial for developing more targeted and successful prevention strategies and monitoring responses to them. Here, we reviewed research on structural, functional, and neural neuroimaging methods and provided a narrative review of neuroimaging studies focusing on brain circuits and findings that converge across studies. In this initial model, people's excitement and feelings were revealed, followed by thoughts and, finally, suicide attempts were considered.
