Ever wonder why treatments for negative symptoms of schizophrenia may be ineffective? Check out my new environmental systems model paper just published open access in @FrontPsychiatry: The Bioecosystem Theory of Negative Symptoms in Schizophrenia.

I will be interviewing for a clinical psychology PhD student interested in schizophrenia or psychosis risk this year. I’m looking for someone with a specific interest in negative symptoms and/or emotion regulation. Retweets appreciated!

BI’s digital thereapeutic (CT-155) showed efficacy for negative symptoms in schizophrenia. Congratulations to the BI team leading this work: Abhishek Pratap , Cornelia Dorner-Ciossek, Sergio Perocco, Christoph von der Goltz @Boehringer

New paper: Environmental resource deprivation is associated with negative symptoms and their underlying person-level mechanisms like reward processing and defeatist beliefs in schizophrenia.

Looking for a postdoc? We’re hiring. Our lab focuses on psychosis and uses a range of methods to explore emotional and cognitive processes (eeg, fmri, eye tracking, digital phenotyping). Apply here: Email gstrauss@uga.edu if interested. RT appreciated!

New paper @SchizBulletin w/ 943 schizophrenia and 250 high-risk for psychosis participants replicated across 6 datasets: defeatist performance beliefs have 3 factors (Overvaluing Success, Failure, and Social Evaluation) reflecting separate txt targets for negative sx.

Congratulations to @AnnaKnippenberg on an excellent thesis defense! We couldn’t be more proud of her @ugacanlab and enjoyed celebrating together!!!

Just out in @SchizBulletin from the Georgia and Illinois Negative Symptom Study (GAINS: R01MH116039) between @ugacanlab and @AdaptProg and @EmoryUniversity. Reports final validation of the NSI-PR scale being used in #ampscz study.

I could not be more proud of my amazing @ugacanlab team for their excellent presentations at #SRP2024 @srp_science . I am truly thankful to work with such a thoughtful, hardworking, and professional group of young psychopathology researchers.Go dawgs! @ugapsychology @UGAResearch

Check out this excellent new paper lead by @DNPrattPhD on reward processing in youth at clinical high risk for psychosis @AdaptProg.

Great research being done @UGAResearch in 2023! Proud for our work on psychosis risk to be part of this top 12 list and to be a member of the UGA community! Go dawgs!.

This is a thought provoking piece. The brain is a complex system, like the weather. Is prediction of perturbation at different time scales that results in psychopathology the optimal goal? Or can these perturbations be controlled within complex systems?
