Psychosis Study

Understanding the biomarkers of aggression in psychotic spectrum disorders (e.g. schizophrenia, bipolar 1 etc.) is imperative for novel treatment approaches. This study (known as ‘VFEP’ within the lab) will try to elucidate functional and structural biomarkers by comparing people with psychosis to people with psychosis + conduct disorder using fMRI, DTI and MT imaging.
