Early Psychosis: Investigating Cognition project

An EPIC project looking at personal experiences, memory and levels of neurochemicals in individuals with psychosis.

Excited to share the preprint of our first fMRS study, showing the time courses of glutamate after the onset of the encoding and recall phases within a working memory paradigm and showing that changes in GABA predict working memory performance! https://t.co/oHvISStYDT

We’re looking for healthy control participants (without a history of psychosis) for our research into memory, attention and brain chemistry in psychosis at the University of Nottingham, UK. (1/3)

[Early Psychosis: Investigating Cognition project @the_EPIC_study]

Our research will involve taking part in some surveys, some tests of memory and attention, an MRI scan, and some brain stimulation! (2/3)

World Mental Health Day's theme this year is mental health at work. Take a few moments to focus on your and your colleagues' mental health. Have a cup of tea with a colleague who is struggling. Think about small changes that can be made to improve mental health in your workplace.

Kat was also awarded funding for a multi-lab project exploring how the brain interprets signals from regions associated with sensation and movement across healthy aging. This can help develop approaches for identifying dementia and other conditions linked to aging. (3/3)

A huge congratulations to one of our research team, @DrKatDyke, on not one, but two recent grant successes! (1/3)

Kat was recently awarded a MRC Partnership Grant to build a new international consortium of experts in the field of Tourette syndrome research. Incorporating people with TS, this new partnership will collaboratively generate new understanding of Tourette syndrome. (2/3)

Looking forward to Day 2 of #ICWM 2024!

[Early Psychosis: Investigating Cognition project @the_EPIC_study]

In our meeting, we discussed brain imaging and brain stimulation methods, and reviewed some prospective interview questions for participants with psychosis regarding their experiences, current understanding and perceived concerns with these methods. 🧠

Yesterday was a fantastic day full of PPIE! In the morning some of our research team attended an excellent workshop on inclusive PPI organised by the @CambridgeBRC. In the afternoon we had a really interesting meeting with our own PPI group. 😃
