Neurocognitive mechanisms of psychotic symptoms

27 April 2021, 2.00 PM - 27 April 2021, 3.00 PM

Dr Graham Murray, University of Cambridge

virtual via Zoom

Synopsis

In this talk I will present recent work from my own group and other groups examining the neurocognitive basis of psychotic symptoms, with a focus on the early stages of psychotic illness (so-called At Risk Mental States and First Episode Psychosis). The focus will be on work examining midbrain and frontal-striatal function using magnetic resonance imaging, and on psychological processes such as learning and decision-making under uncertainty. The overall aim of this research is to enable a more complete understanding of how dysfunction of key biological and cognitive systems can lead to the development of positive psychotic symptoms in youth, with the ultimate aim of improved therapeutic and preventative strategies.
