Neuropsychosocial profiles of current and future adolescent alcohol misusers (2014)
Journal Article
Whelan, R., Watts, R., Orr, C. A., Althoff, R. R., Artiges, E., Banaschewski, T., …Ziesch, V. (2014). Neuropsychosocial profiles of current and future adolescent alcohol misusers. Nature, 512(7513), 185-189. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature13402

A comprehensive account of the causes of alcohol misuse must accommodate individual differences in biology, psychology and environment, and must disentangle cause and effect. Animal models can demonstrate the effects of neurotoxic substances; however... Read More about Neuropsychosocial profiles of current and future adolescent alcohol misusers.

Journal Article
Schwarz, S., Afzal, M., Morgan, P., Auer, D., Bajaj, N., & Gowland, P. A. (2014). The ‘Swallow Tail’ Appearance of the Healthy Nigrosome – A New Accurate Test of Parkinson's Disease: A Case-Control and Retrospective Cross-Sectional MRI Study at 3T. PLoS ONE, 9(4), Article e93814. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0093814

There is no well-established in vivo marker of nigral degeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD). An ideal imaging marker would directly mirror the loss of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurones, which is most prominent in sub-regions called nigrosomes...
