Mental Health Research UK (MHRUK) PhD Studentship
How are transdiagnostic structural brain abnormalities in psychosis associated with risk factors, cognitive deficits, and neurotransmitters?
PsyShareD data will contribute to a Mental Health Research UK funded PhD hosted at King's College London. The research will integrate structural neuroimaging, neurotransmitter receptor maps, cognitive assessments and environmental risk factors to better understand psychosis.
