Ready for a crash course in psychosis?
My recent public lecture is now on YouTube! I explain what psychosis is, what we are doing about it in the lab, and what the future may hold.

Very much looking forward to this collaboration with @georgkeller.bsky.social at @fmiscience.bsky.social, using a cross-species approach in humans and mice to investigate the effects of antipsychotics on cortical circuit function.
FMI’s Prof. @georgkeller.bsky.social and UPK Basel’s Prof. Philip Sterzer have been awarded a 1.5 M CHF @snf-fns.ch grant to study how brain circuit changes underlie schizophrenia — bridging fundamental neuroscience and clinical research from mice to humans 🧠 www.fmi.ch/news-events/...
Understanding schizophrenia by bridging mouse and human brain circuits

A very insightful update on predictive processing accounts of psychosis and an excellent analysis of current challenges as well as directions for future research. Great work!
I am very excited to share our new preprint together with @Isabella Goodwin, @Kelly Diederen, @Emily Hird,
@veithweilnhammer.bsky.social, and @Marta Garrido! Where does predictive processing stand in psychosis research - revisiting Sterzer et al (2018) seven years later. 🧠🔍?

New paper in @brain1878.bsky.social: Healthy people under S-ketamine, an NMDAR antagonist, and people living with schizophrenia, a disorder associated with NMDAR hypofunction, spend more time in an external mode of perception - where noisy sensory signals override knowledge about the world.

N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor hypofunction causes recurrent and transient failures of perceptual inference
Perception combines external sensory signals with internal predictions that reflect prior knowledge about the world. Weilnhammer et al. show that the NMDAR
