Bio
Rudolph Uher, M.D., Ph.D., Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, will study specific connections in the brain that may provide paths to treating many forms of psychiatric illness by expanding on the predictive factors of family history and early symptoms. Dr. Uher’s team will test whether emotional training in youth improves connections between the brain’s emotion and memory centers, and whether training to reduce psychotic symptoms improves connections between the sensory processing and executive control centers. This work may point toward new measures that help prevent schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other serious adolescent brain disorders.
