The Horga Lab is a psychiatry research lab that uses neuroimaging and cognitive methods to study the origins of the psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia, including hallucinations and delusions.
Researchers at Columbia University used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to understand brain structural alterations in children and adolescents with OCD that predict psychotherapy treatment response.
Neurogenesis is “fundamentally important for the brain to react to all sorts of different insults and prevent neurological and psychiatric problems,” Dr. Maura Boldrini says.
Dr. Rachel Marsh’s Cognitive Development and Neuroimaging Laboratory studies the mechanisms in the brain that underlie an individual’s ability to self-regulate.
While there is still plenty of research to be done, Dr. Philip Muskin emphasized that there is enough certainty to know that psychiatric drugs do work – often to great effect.
This study “adds to a growing literature of using electrophysiological outcomes, including mismatch negativity as predictive biomarkers,” commented Dr. Joshua Kantrowitz.
Structural differences in the cerebellum may be linked to some aspects of autism spectrum disorder, according to a neuroimaging study from Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC).
Researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) identified a specific receptor related to the neurotransmitter serotonin that could be targeted with drugs to boost memory.
