how do we know a risk marker is specific to psychosis, rather than indicative of Transdiagnostic vulnerability? check out new meta led by Zach Millman exploring these questions with neurocognition and CHR Schizophrenia Bulletin jim gold Teresa G. Vargas academic.oup.com/schizophreniab…

In our recent EEG study, we find motor deficits in activating & preparing behavioral responses in youth at CHR for psychosis. Blunted LRP amplitude predicted negative sx at 12mth.APA Journals @kjuston_osborne Wendy Zhang Robin Nusslock Emily Kappenman psycnet.apa.org/record/2022-58…

In a Chicago Tribune op-ed, Andrew Papachristos, Jamie Kalven, & Rajiv write about their new study that develops tools to detect possible crews of criminal cops. They argue that early detection of corrupt police may stop the next Ronald Watts crew. spr.ly/6011zJlfB

In this advanced review, Teresa G. Vargas explores how early development, stress, and systemic environmental features play critical roles in the course of psychosis and inform a neurodevelopmental and multifaceted diathesis-stress model annualreviews.org/doi/pdf/10.114…
