Preprint🚨 In this interdisciplinary collab NORMENT we identified peripheral inflammatory markers associated with cognition that was dysregulated in CNS cells in people with schizophrenia. We used iPSC-technology and postmortem brain data!🧠

Researchers NORMENT found impaired social cognition in men w/history of violence: Those men w/additional schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD) had global social cognitive impairments, whereas men w/o SSD had more specific impairments in theory-of-mind. bit.ly/49ta3pt

I was recently interviewed by the magazine Hud & Helse about the relationship between inflammation and mental health, in the context of skin diseases (in Norwegian👇 for those interested) NORMENT

You might know your mind, but do you know you have the right to good mental health?

What does this mean for the 1 in 8 of us who have a mental health condition? It means the right to good quality mental health care and support.
To be included in your community.
To have a voice.…

PhD paper 3 preprint! We find that although diagnosis-derived RSFC patterns replicate from a developmental clinical US sample to a convenience sample of Norwegian youth, their utility is greatly limited due to their lack of sensitivity to symptom burden.
