Abnormal visuomotor processing in schizophrenia (2015)
Journal Article
Robson, S. E., Brookes, M. J., Hall, E. L., Palaniyappan, L., Kumar, J., Skelton, M., Christodoulou, N. G., Qureshi, A., Jan, F., Katshu, M. Z., Liddle, E. B., Liddle, P. F., & Morris, P. G. (2016). Abnormal visuomotor processing in schizophrenia. NeuroImage: Clinical, 12, 869-878. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nicl.2015.08.005

Subtle disturbances of visual and motor function are known features of schizophrenia and can greatly impact quality of life; however, few studies investigate these abnormalities using simple visuomotor stimuli. In healthy people, electrophysiological... Read More about Abnormal visuomotor processing in schizophrenia.

Vertex Stimulation as a Control Site for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: A Concurrent TMS/fMRI Study (2015)
Journal Article
Jung, J., Bungert, A., Bowtell, R., & Jackson, S. R. (2016). Vertex Stimulation as a Control Site for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: A Concurrent TMS/fMRI Study. Brain Stimulation, 9(1), 58-64. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.2015.09.008

Background
A common control condition for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies is to apply stimulation at the vertex. An assumption of vertex stimulation is that it has relatively little influence over on-going brain processes involved in...

Voxel-based, brain-wide association study of aberrant functional connectivity in schizophrenia implicates thalamocortical circuitry (2015)
Journal Article
Cheng, W., Palaniyappan, L., Li, M., Kendrick, K. M., Zhang, J., Luo, Q., Liu, Z., Yu, R., Deng, W., Wang, Q., Ma, X., Guo, W., Francis, S., Liddle, P., Mayer, A. R., Schumann, G., Li, T., & Feng, J. (2015). Voxel-based, brain-wide association study of aberrant functional connectivity in schizophrenia implicates thalamocortical circuitry. npj Schizophrenia, 1, Article 15016. https://doi.org/10.1038/npjschz.2015.16

BACKGROUND: Wernicke’s concept of ‘sejunction’ or aberrant associations among specialized brain regions is one of the earliest hypotheses attempting to explain the myriad of symptoms in psychotic disorders. Unbiased data mining of all possible brain-... Read More about Voxel-based, brain-wide association study of aberrant functional connectivity in schizophrenia implicates thalamocortical circuitry.

Temperature-ramped 129Xe spin-exchange optical pumping (2014)
Journal Article
Nikolaou, P., Coffey, A. M., Barlow, M. J., Rosen, M. S., Goodson, B. M., & Chekmenev, E. Y. (2014). Temperature-ramped 129Xe spin-exchange optical pumping. Analytical Chemistry, 86(16), 8206-8212. https://doi.org/10.1021/ac501537w

We describe temperature-ramped spin-exchange optical pumping (TR-SEOP) in an automated high-throughput batch-mode 129Xe hyperpolarizer utilizing three key temperature regimes: (i) “hot”—where the 129Xe hyperpolarization rate is maximal, (ii) “warm”—w...
