I am a clinician-scientist in child and adolescent psychiatry in Bern with a research focus on the neurobiology of psychosis and the clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis syndrome. My research primarily uses EEG, with a particular focus on EEG microstates, to investigate how alterations in brain dynamics are associated with psychosis and its CHR syndrome.
In a recent study, we found that clinical outcome of the clinical high risk syndrome, especially conversion to psychosis, is associated with reduced temporal stability of EEG microstates. And in an interesting case report, we covered a patient with a very rare autoimmune psychosis, possibly caused by autoantibodies against the thirst center of the brain.
