"Psychosis, Social Determinants, and Neural Correlates:  Bridging Mental Health, Society, and the Brain"

William K. Warren, Jr.  Frontiers in Neuroscience Lecture 
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm     Program in the LPCH auditorium  

Dr. Crossley is an academic psychiatrist with an interest in understanding brain function in health and disease through neuroimaging, particularly in psychotic disorders. After completing his training in the UK, he returned to his native Chile in 2016 where he continues his imaging research, including on treatment resistance and the 22q11 deletion syndrome. In 2017 he established the ANDES network, a collaboration of Latin American researchers in psychosis, comprising members from six Latin American countries. The focus of this network has been the impact of the social determinants of health—such as poverty, violence, and gender inequality—on the clinical trajectories of psychosis and brain structure and function, issues that are particularly pertinent to the Global South.

Learning objectives:  

1. Identify the importance of specific social determinants of health in the trajectories of psychosis.
2. Identify the impact of specific social determinants of health in brain anatomy.
3. Identify the importance of including the social determinants in studies developing brain biomarkers in psychosis.
