Big breakthrough in ALS research @WesternU!
Led by Dr. Michael Strong, researchers have found a potential path to cure ALS. Thanks to decades of support and recent $10M gift from the Temerty Foundation, the discovery could enter clinical trials in 5 years. https://t.co/Ck3oEyuAXX
2/2 Additionally patients exhibiting high conceptual disorganization show increased centrality of a medial superior parietal cluster. @Nature_NPJ#npjshcz https://t.co/RWSqAdG4Vp #schizophrenia
1/2 Studying whole-brain binarized degree centrality maps of 31 patients with first episode #psychosis, compared to healthy controls, @avyarthanadey et al observed reduced centrality of a right superior temporal gyrus cluster. @Nature_NPJ#npjshcz https://t.co/RWSqAdG4Vp

With the centrality of the superior temporal '#language' hub reduced, a sensory association region becomes more hub-like in conceptually disorganized patients with untreated acute #psychosis
In this publication (https://t.co/fZHlOf8ECM), I aim to uncover brain signatures relating to conceptual disorganization in psychosis. This study is also novel in that it looks at untreated first-episode psychosis, thereby removing any speculations of treatment effects. @lena_pl
It's Trainee Tuesday!
Get to know @avyarthanadey, one of over 70 students in the #NMHI graduate program. Avy is a second year PhD student in Dr. Sanjay Kalra's lab.
