Hippocampal structural differences in schizophrenia are well-established. But when do these changes arise? Could they result from atypical brain development?
Excited to share our group’s recent work in @BiologicalPsyc1 investigating these questions: https://t.co/uuZKuCoufU

Excited to share the results of my dissertation published in @npp_journal. Come learn about modulating hippocampal activity in psychosis with levetiracetam at my poster (W170) tonight at #ACNP2023! @ACNPorg@VUMCPsych

The MSTP represented at VBI Retreat! @camilleswang(G4) was 1st in the Poster Awards & received the Elaine Sanders-Bush Research Award, along with @MaxwellJRoeske(M4). @sacajigas(G3) was 2nd in the Poster Awards. Dr. Danny Winder (MSTP assoc. director) received Mentor of the Year!
Read the paper for details on methods, limitations, future directions, and potential mechanisms linking IHI and schizophrenia.
Grateful for the contributions of co-authors Ilwoo Lyu, @maureenmchugo1, @JenniBlackford, @NeilWoodward20 and the mentorship of @StephanHeckers.

... eliminated clusters in the anterolateral hippocampus consisting primarily of the CA1 subfield, an area implicated in schizophrenia pathology. These data suggest that hippocampal structural differences can be attributed to an anatomic variant arising during development.

Join us Thursday, April 21 at 10:00am in person or Zoom for @MaxwellJRoeske's Dissertation Defense! He will present "Mechanisms of hippocampal disfunction in psychosis" completed in Dr. Stephan Heckers's lab through the Neuroscience Graduate Program!
Check out the latest from @MaxwellJRoeske (G3) in Molecular Psychiatry! This work shows that Incomplete Hippocampal Inversion (IHI) is more prevalent and more severe in #schizophrenia. Find out more here: https://t.co/GokqDCuS57
Proud to share our latest paper showing the prevalence and impact of a neuroanatomic variant in schizophrenia for the first time. Thanks to the guidance and mentorship from @maureenmchugo1@VandyAtVandy @JenniBlackford @WoodwardLab @StephanHeckers

Excited to share our recent meta-analysis and review of postmortem studies investigating hippocampal volume and neurons in schizophrenia. Thanks to my co-authors for their mentoring and expertise! https://t.co/5HDskQHZyo
