Journal Article
Briley, P. M., Liddle, E. B., Simmonite, M., Jansen, M., White, T. P., Balain, V., …Liddle, P. F. (2021). Regional Brain Correlates of Beta Bursts in Health and Psychosis: A Concurrent Electroencephalography and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study. Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, 6(12), 1145-1156. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bpsc.2020.10.018

Background: There is emerging evidence for abnormal beta oscillations in psychosis. Beta oscillations are likely to play a key role in the coordination of sensorimotor information that is crucial to healthy mental function. Growing evidence suggests...

Lateralization of attention in adults with ADHD: Evidence of pseudoneglect (2020)
Journal Article
Helfer, B., Maltezos, S., Liddle, E., Kuntsi, J., & Asherson, P. (2020). Lateralization of attention in adults with ADHD: Evidence of pseudoneglect. European Psychiatry, 63(1), Article e68. https://doi.org/10.1192/j.eurpsy.2020.68

Background. We investigated whether adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) show pseudoneglect—preferential allocation of attention to the left visual field (LVF) and a resulting slowing of mean reaction times (MRTs) in the right...

Quantifying the core deficit in classical schizophrenia (2020)
Journal Article
Rathnaiah, M., Liddle, E., Gascoyne, L., Kumar, J., Zia Ul Haq Katshu, M., Faruqi, C., …Liddle, P. F. (2020). Quantifying the core deficit in classical schizophrenia. Schizophrenia Bulletin Open, 1(1), Article sgaa031. https://doi.org/10.1093/schizbullopen/sgaa031

In the classical descriptions of schizophrenia, Kraepelin and Bleuler recognised disorganization and impoverishment of mental activity as fundamental symptoms. Their classical descriptions also included a tendency to persisting disability. The psycho... Read More about Quantifying the core deficit in classical schizophrenia.

Neurological and psychiatric adverse effects of long-term methylphenidate treatment in ADHD: A map of the current evidence (2019)
Journal Article
Krinzinger, H., Hall, C. L., Groom, M. J., Ansari, M. T., Banaschewski, T., Buitelaar, J. K., …Liddle, E. B. (2019).

Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 107, 945-968. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.2019.09.023

Methylphenidate (MPH), the most common medication for children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in many countries, is often prescribed for long periods of time. Any long-term psychotropic treatment in childhood raises concerns abo...

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 10, Article 235. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyt.2019.00235

Objective: Structural and functional abnormalities have been noted in the prefrontal cortex of individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Cortical thickness and gyrification, both of which h...

Glutathione and glutamate in schizophrenia: a 7T MRS study (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 The Author(s) In schizophrenia, abnormal neural metabolite concentrations may arise from cortical damage following neuroinflammatory processes implicated in acute episodes. Inflammation is associated with increased glutamate, whereas the antio... Read More about Glutathione and glutamate in schizophrenia: a 7T MRS study.

Translational Psychiatry, 6, Article e956. https://doi.org/10.1038/tp.2016.216

Previous studies have suggested that risk of psychotic events may be increased in children exposed to methylphenidate (MPH). However, this risk has not been fully examined and the possibility of confounding factors has not been excluded. Patients age...
