Event Details

Dr. Keedy trained as a clinical neuropsychologist and focuses on identifying neural system abnormalities underlying psychotic disorders. Various neuropathologies have been identified in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, but the relationship of such findings to symptom expression is rarely demonstrable. This presentation reports on efforts to assess whether improved hallucination measurement precision yields this needed insight, specifically with respect to top down control of sensory processing and to general cognitive abilities.

Audience:

Psychiatrists, Neurologists, and other affiliated professionals interested in mental health

Purpose:

To provide current information on research, treatment, and policy issues relating to psychiatry and its adjunct fields

Instructional level:

Advanced

Objectives:

  1. Describe alternate approaches to psychosis patient grouping
  2. Discuss how heterogeneity in the neurobiology of psychosis patients can both point to targeted treatment approaches and explain how prior treatment development efforts may have been labeled failures prematurely
  3. Identify recent findings using biomarkers that elucidate alterations underlying psychosis
