Always such a pleasure seeing the arrival of a new book you & colleagues have put a lot of blood, sweat & tears into👌

HUGE effort, led by Matt Butler getting this 2nd edn of Pocket Prescriber Psychiatry out with @BAPsych

Builds on success of 1st edn led by @drjprogers👏👏💪💪

[David L. Perez MD, MMSc, FAAN, FANPA @DavidLewisPerez]

Sharing new @BiologicalPsyc1 structural brain MRI mega-analysis in Functional Neurological Disorder. This international effort was led by #MattButler & @Tim_R_Nicholson in collaboration with the @FNDSociety Neuroimaging SIG. Check it out. @KingsIoPPN https://t.co/96MEqsP2WF

Very grateful to be here in London giving a talk tonight
@KingsCollegeLon on Placebo, Nocebo & Mind-Brain-Body Circuits. This field has come a long way over the past 5 years...hoping to highlight the practical implications for clinical care and society.

Westlin et al. report that resting-state functional connectivity predicted and tracked with symptom change in functional neurological disorder over ∼6 months of naturalistic treatment.

Following the one-sided piece on ECT in the Observer last week by Jessica Rawnsley, a couple of colleagues who can attest to the clinical effectiveness of treatment get to put an alternative view. Thanks to the Observer for wanting to support balance. https://t.co/VUtoYLGYT5

@M_Moutoussis @jonstoneneuro @TheLancet Yes, we are asking in good faith for views on what we genuinely believe is the best way forward

We've had lots of positive feedback on Linked In and other forums but also very keen to hear, and discuss/engage with, polite and well articulated counter-arguments & evidence👍

[Tim Nicholson @Tim_R_Nicholson]

@ZemanLab @jonstoneneuro @LFeldmanBarrett We’ve summarised (as best we can in limits of 1k word count!) the arguments for & against this change

We are genuinely interested in discussing/debating the arguments against our proposal - so please do let us know why you disagree or what your concerns might be!🙏

[Tim Nicholson @Tim_R_Nicholson]

Great to see this small but mighty paper out

Calls for unification of neuro & psych diagnostic categories

It’s increasingly obvious to those of us working across these ‘2 specialities divided by the same organ’ (to misquote Churchill😆) that this makes sense & good for both

[Jon Stone @jonstoneneuro]

Cardiologists and cardiac surgeons share the same organ and the same ICD-11 category.

Our new editorial @thelancet.com explores what would happen if neurologists and psychiatrists had a joint classification in ICD as well. 1/

[Tim Nicholson @Tim_R_Nicholson]

Paper led by psychiatrist Peter White & neurologist @ZemanLab who first called for this in 2012 with Hugh Rickards https://t.co/3fKDsEmAmN

With @jonstoneneuro & @LFeldmanBarrett we’ve updated & expanded rationale & benefits for this key/historic unification of brain, body & mind

[Fiona @Fionas_Story]

I'm so excited to share the Pain Psychology Centre UK's new website. HUGE well done to Vanessa and team. This is going to make some waves. I can't wait to see that happen

@MattBurkeMD @NatureHumBehav Thanks for sharing this @MattBurkeMD - important and mind blowing work🤯

[Jonathan Rogers @drjprogers]

Psychomotor retardation looks a bit similar to parkinsonism. In this paper, we examine whether it might be a prodromal feature as part of depression: https://t.co/tLUoR3aKzw.

Massive study published yesterday in @NatureHumBehav for anyone in the neuropsychiatry/mind-brain-behavior spaces

Direct in vivo evidence for how attention can modulate the immune system in ways that seem almost unbelievable

@M_Moutoussis @jonstoneneuro @TheLancet Thanks for your feedback Michael

Could you kindly explain why a joint neuro/psych classification system, from your perspective, isn’t a good idea …and why you presumably think our arguments for its benefits are flawed?

[Jon Stone @jonstoneneuro]

Territorial disputes about FND, Dementia, & Tourettes could be improved. 

Psychiatric care for MS and Epilepsy, and neurological care for those presenting with psychological symptoms could be more integrated.

Thanks to Peter White @LFeldmanBarrett @Tim_R_Nicholson @ZemanLab

🧠 Our new paper!
We show brain state entropy—derived from dynamic resting-state fMRI—captures the loss of network flexibility after traumatic brain injury.
It reflects injury severity, is profoundly affected by propofol sedation, and predicts recovery.

Great work Vaughan & team!👏👏💪🏻💪🏻
