(2023-05)
Dissociation may be important across many mental health disorders, but has been variously
conceptualised and measured. We introduced a conceptualisation of a common type of dissociative
experience, ‘felt sense of anomaly’ ...
Neuroimaging glutamatergic mechanisms differentiating antipsychotic treatment-response
(2023-06)
Glutamatergic dysfunction is associated with failure to respond to antipsychotic medication in individuals with schizophrenia. Our objective was to combine neurochemical and functional brain imaging methods to investigate ...
Development and initial evaluation of a behavioural intervention to support weight management for people with serious mental illness: an uncontrolled feasibility and acceptability study
(2023-03)
The rates of obesity and associated health problems are higher in people with serious mental illness (SMI), such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, than the general population. A primary care referral to a behavioural ...
Hippocampal Glutamate, Resting Perfusion and the Effects of Cannabidiol in Psychosis Risk
(2023-03)
Background: Preclinical and human data suggest that the onset of psychosis involves
hippocampal glutamatergic dysfunction, driving hyperactivity/hyperperfusion in a

Shared and separate patterns in brain morphometry across transdiagnostic dimensions
(2023-01)
Determining similarities and differences in brain structure across psychiatric disorders is important to determine if psychiatric taxonomy is reflected in distinct brain structural changes. As previous neuroimaging ...
