JNNP podcast
Summary: From June 2023, all our podcasts will move to https://jnnpbmj.podbean.com. You can continue with your subscription on your favourite podcast App. JNNP's ambition is to publish the most ground-breaking and cutting-edge research from around the world. Encompassing the entire genre of neurological sciences, our focus is on the common disorders (stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, peripheral neuropathy, subarachnoid haemorrhage and neuropsychiatry), but with a keen interest in the Gordian knots that present themselves in the field, such as ALS. * The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

Individual differences in our capacity to read other people’s emotions and to remember faces we have seen before are highly variable in the general population. Some people are super-recognizers; others have difficulty remembering their own family members. Such abilities are also highly heritable, implying our genetic makeup exerts an important influence. But what genes are involved in social perception? Where do they act when our brains process social signals? What happens if the social perception system malfunctions? How does it affect our social behaviour? Professor Peter Halligan, Director of the BNPA, asks David Skuse, Professor of Behavioural and Brain Sciences at the Institute of Child Health, University College London, the answers to these questions. This podcast was recorded at the 2014 British NeuroPsychiatry Association AGM.

Cognitive impairment is generally considered an important facet of the schizophrenia syndrome but how fundamental is it? In this podcast Alan Carson discusses the question with Eileen Joyce, Consultant Neuropsychiatrist at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. She argues that there is a limited general resource in schizophrenia that constrains the performance of a wide range of specific cognitive functions and underlies the development of psychotic symptoms as well as determining functional outcome. She also outlines the possible neurobiological underpinnings. This podcast was recorded at the 2014 British NeuroPsychiatry Association AGM.

Dr Robert Zivadinov, Department of Neurology, School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Buffalo Neuroimaging Analysis Center, discusses his paper which aimed to identify MRI biomarkers associated with long-term disability progression in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), and to define the rate of evolution of global, tissue-specific and regional atrophy in patients with MS over long-term.
