New from us, led by the fantastic Keishema Kerr:
A scoping review unpacking how neuropsychiatry and behavioural neurology training looks like world-wide
www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
with Lauren Burns, Sheldon Benjamin, Eileen Joyce, Jasvinder Singh, @jrbneuropsiq.bsky.social and Biba Stanton
I don't think first author @jrbneuropsiq.bsky.social is very active here but new from us in Lancet Americas:
Towards a Latin American neuropsychiatry
www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Co-written between colleagues on what makes Latin American neuropsychiatry important, regionally and globally.

Accuracy: validity?
Precision: reliability?
Thanks, Alexey!
I wholeheartedly recommend the work of @jrbneuropsiq.bsky.social. Here is an upcoming seminar

For psychologists and psychiatrists reading papers on FEP, Shannon's entropy, etc. Yes, there are different kinds of entropy, however, this intro is a much better simplification than simply "measure of disorder."

How (and why) languages became more complex as we evolved more prosocial: the human self-domestication view
www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy...
"Our self-domestication might have potentiated the cognitive features of the human phenotype with an impact on language acquisition & use. It might have facilitated the creation of the cultural niche that favors the complexification of languages via a cultural mechanism."
New paper from us 👇 Great to see this out.
I hope you will all join me in expressing your thanks to the NIH and NSF staff who are working in an impossibly difficult and chaotic environment to keep science going in our country.
I think this is in conflict with the scientific evidence about a lateralized linguistic network in the brain that leads to aphasia after brain lesions. The discussion about boundaries is valuable, of course. But we should acknowledge that some brain areas contribute to language only indirectly
approaches to improve cognition in patients with neuroimmunological disease. Current treatments are helpful, but many patients suffer from chronic cognitive disorders. We need help from basic and clinical scientists as this is a real, widespread problem
Although the prognosis seems favourable in most conditions after immunotherapy, the magnitude of the therapeutic effect of immunotherapy on cognitive functioning remains unclear. Our own personal experience is that we still lack effective pharmacological and neuromodulatory...
...of the CNS, neurocognitive disorders due to autoimmune encephalitis, and neurocognitive disorders due to cerebrovascular disease of autoimmune origin. These diseases are mediated by immune system reactions involving antibody production, T-cell-mediated damage & demyelination.
Our paper shows that significant advances have been made in neurocognitive disorders associated with four categories of autoimmune disease: neurocognitive disorders due to autoimmune connective tissue diseases, neurocognitive disorders due to autoimmune demyelinating diseases...
What about this case of a 35-year-old woman with a diagnosis of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus, who suffers from significant cognitive disturbance which prevented her from completing her university education, as well as affective dysregulation & depressive symptoms
Consider this case of a 58-year-old woman suffering from severe cognitive dysfunction affecting memory (visual, episodic, & semantic) & executive functioning (processing speed, planning & inhibitory control). The MRI shows white matter abnormalities, typical of multiple sclerosis
