COME JOIN US in Phoenix tomorrow @ 1pm for ACNP’s “Teaching Day - Big Data: Access, Tools, Applications” #ACNP2024 featuring Damien Fair + Helen Mayberg (+me if I get to Phoenix in time !!!)

Hi #ACNP2024 ! 👋 - I'm Paul Thompson, attending ACNP on+off since 1998 (ikr?!), ENIGMA consortium PI since 2009. We study human 🧠 disorders w/ imaging. Happy to chat science, careers, frustrations, team projects, anything really ;) Come say hi @ our session Wed w/ Damien…

Thank you @PTenigma It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and thank you for the terrific talk! And yes, let's hope we can welcome you and the @enigmabrains back next year on our lovely campus! @TheCHBH @UoB_SoP @LES_UniBham

Fantastic 2 days meeting @enigmabrains discussing data & developments across multiple working groups focusing on psychiatric & neurodevelopmental disorders in youths. Great talk @TownendSophie on the cross-disorder findings! @MStaginnus @Jul_Dugre @gao_yidian @CAM_Cecil

Today's ENIGMA Summit compared over 20 brain disorders in tens of thousands of people scanned with MRI, and suggests that: 1. brain disorders that hit very early, before birth (e.g. those due to genomic copy number variants such as genetic deletions) tend to affect cortical…

Brilliant to catch up with so many amazing people at Day 1 of the ENIGMA Leadership Summit in Amsterdam ! @enigmabrains

🚨PhD funding alert for UK/ROI-registered healthcare professionals🚨 Exciting opportunity to join our lab to research conduct disorder + maltreatment using large international datasets. tinyurl.com/3wy9whpm with @JohnTullyPsych @TheCHBH @IMH_UoB @UoB_SoP @LES_UniBham pls retwt

🚨Exciting news! Our meta-analysis on executive functions in psychopathy is finally published in Psychol. Med. (#OpenAccess). Link: doi.org/10.1017/S00332… Key finding: Only SMALL (if any) EF deficits in psychopathy – challenging some prevalent assumptions. More findings 👇

Important paper, which highlights the importance of taking a brain network approach and the power of 'validating' findings using a multi-level approach, encompassing neurological, psychological, neurotransmitter, and genetic data. @TheCHBH @IMH_UoB @UoB_SoP @SSSpsychopathy

Another great and very important paper by @JessicaTodorov from @TheCHBH and @UoB_SoP. Her findings support the view that anxiety is the key feature that distinguishes the primary and secondary variants of callous-unemotional traits in youth with CD.
