DR. PETER F LIDDLE

BSc (Hons), BMBCh, PhD, FRCP(C)

  • Professor
  • Psychiatry

Research Description:

My laboratory is engaged in the investigation of the cerebral abnormalities associated with schizophrenia using brain imaging techniques such as functional MRI, PET, Electrical Event Related Potentials (ERPs) and magnetoencephalography (MEG). Current studies include:

  1. Examination of the effects of atypical antipsychotics on cerebral function in schizophrenia.
  2. Investigation of functional connectivity between cerebral areas in schizophrenia
  3. Delineating the patterns of cerebral activity associated with the characteristic symptoms of schizophrenia.

Further details are provided at our Neuroimaging laboratory web-site
