A macroscopic link between interhemispheric tract myelination and cortico-cortical interactions during action reprogramming
(2021-12)Myelination has been increasingly implicated in the function and dysfunction of the adult human brain. Although it is known that axon myelination shapes axon physiology in animal models, it is unclear whether a similar ... -
Debate: If not us, then who?
(2022-02)Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists have stressful jobs and huge caseloads, and are ideally placed to play an influential and meaningful role in responding to 'the biggest global health threat of the 21st Century': the ... -
Patient attitudes towards remote memory clinic assessment

Age-related response speed deficits arise from specific impairments in sensory evidence accumulation rate
(2021-11)Older adults exposed to enriched environments (EE) maintain relatively higher levels of cognitive function, even in the face of compromised markers of brain health. Response speed (RS) is often used as a simple proxy to ... -
