Multidisciplinary research on mental illness. Continuation of the research developed at the NORMENT Centre of Excellence.
Impressive and important work by @KevinOC87, @oleaandreassen and collaborators in @PGCgenetics on the genomics of bipolar disorder published in @Nature 👏 ➡️ tinyurl.com/33krpxbd @UniOslo_MED @Oslounivsykehus med.uio.no/klinmed/englis…
Did you know it takes an average of 8 years to diagnose #BipolarDisorder? Newly published research from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (bit.ly/3JkuokY) aims to improve this by learning more about the condition’s biology. Now in Nature: go.nature.com/3PJhi3W
Job alert!🚨 3-year postdoc position available at the Centre for Precision Psychiatry related to multimodal prediction algorithms for Alzheimer’s disease using data from genetics, neuroimaging, biomarkers and cognitive tests. Deadline Feb 6. Please share! jobbnorge.no/en/available-j…

New paper alert! Our paper 'Charting the shared genetic architecture of Alzheimer's disease, cognition, and educational attainment, and associations with brain development' is out in Neurobiology of Disease! @SFFNORMENT sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
New preprint! Strong genetic overlap between severe mental disorders and blood metabolic markers. Fascinating patterns: opposite effect directions of the markers on major depression versus bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. tinyurl.com/metaboPsych. #metabolicpsychiatry
New @MoBa_study preprint on psychotic experiences in adolescents out now!✨ medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
📢 New preprint by Kevin S. O'Connell reveals major findings in bipolar disorder genetics! Analyzing 158K+ BD cases & 2.8M controls, the study identified 298 genome-wide significant loci—a 4x increase from prior research. 🧬🧠 #BipolarDisorder #Genetics #MentalHealth

(1/5)🧬 #Anxiety is highly #comorbid & has extensive #genetic overlap with other #psychiatric disorders. How can we use this to improve power in #GWAS ?🔬
Our 10-year follow-up study on the link between visual hallucinations, functioning, and suicidality in first-episode psychosis has now been published @schizjournal : nature.com/articles/s4153…
New preprint alert 🚨 osf.io/mhypb/ We examined the association between visual hallucinations, functioning, and suicidality over the course of illness in first-episode psychosis (10-year follow-up).
🔥 off the press: Using a multivariate approach in a sample from the UK Biobank, @dtroelfs et al. examined the genetic relationships between measures of functional connectivity and #psychiatric disorders. @TobKaufmann, @SFFNORMENT, @UniOslo, @uni_tue nature.com/articles/s4422…
Sex differences in associations btw autonomic adverse effects & antipsychotic treatment. Higher risk of palpitations/tachycardia in risperidone-treated males associated with different hormone profiles of prolactin, cortisol and insulin @UniOslo_MED bit.ly/4aKjVvn
Haatveit, @i_s_melle, Alnæs et al investigated cognitive mean and variability differences between patients with #SZ and #BD and healthy controls. The analysis revealed case-control differences on 90% of the variables @sffnorment @UniOslo @schizjournal bit.ly/4aIFAE8
Congratulations to @WeiqiuCheng, @nadine_parker3 and co-authors on receiving the prize for outstanding paper from @Oslounivsykehus, for their @TheLancetPsych publication on cannabis use, genetics and mental illness! Paper: doi.org/10.1016/S2215-… Prize: oslo-universitetssykehus.fnsp.nhn.no/om-oss/nyheter…

🚨New preprint out🚨 "Heterogeneity in the long-term course of psychotic symptoms: investigating the role of illness-concurrent cannabis and stimulant use" (osf.io/crp84/) For main findings & a 'good news takeaway' of this 10-year follow-up study, check out this 🧵👇
Researchers @SFFNORMENT 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

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. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
