Transcript
ECNP Research Internship Bill Deakin University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom The Neuroscience and Psychiatry Unit aims to understand the neurobiology of common mental illness and new principles of treatment using neuroimaging together with cognitive and drug challenges. We will tailor the research training experiences to the individual needs of the ECNP visiting scientist. Current projects involve proton MRS (glutamate, GABA glutathione) and the unique development of C13glucose MRS to measure glutamate neuronal synthesis. Resting state and cognitive challenge fMRI is in use. FDOPA PET assesses dopamine neuronal function and PK11195 assesses microglial activation in patients with recent onset psychosis. Clinical and imaging data will be available from a clinical trial of minocycline vs placebo in first episode schizophrenia. There are several other datasets available for exploratory analyses. Bill Deakin works with senior staff Rebecca Elliott (cognitive neuroscience & emotion), Ian Anderson (psychiatry and depression) and Shane Mckie (image analysis). There is a friendly crew of post docs and PhD students. Manchester is seriously cool city.
