Psychiatry Res . 2001 May; 106(3):161-70. PMID: 11382538
Several proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) studies in schizophrenia have found reduced N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) concentrations in pre-frontal and temporal regions of the brain. Reductions in NAA may reflect...

Lawrie S, Whalley H, Abukmeil S, Kestelman J, Donnelly L, Miller P, et al.
Biol Psychiatry . 2001 May; 49(10):811-23. PMID: 11343678
Background: Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain in patients with schizophrenia has consistently demonstrated several abnormalities. These are thought to be neurodevelopmental in origin, as they have also...

McIntosh A, Forrester A, Lawrie S, Byrne M, Harper A, Kestelman J, et al.
Psychol Med . 2001 Feb; 31(1):159-71. PMID: 11200955
Background: Despite more than 100 years of study, there remains no definitive diagnostic validation of the functional psychoses. Factor analysis suggests the presence of three or more psychopathological syndromes in...

Sanderson T, Best J, Doody G, Owens D, Johnstone E
Lancet . 1999 Dec; 354(9193):1867-71. PMID: 10584724
Background: Reasons for the higher frequency of schizophrenia in learning-disabled populations are uncertain. We investigated the neuroanatomical basis for this phenomenon by structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with...

Whalley H, Kestelman J, Rimmington J, Kelso A, Abukmeil S, Best J, et al.
Psychiatry Res . 1999 Sep; 91(1):31-44. PMID: 10496690
The Edinburgh High Risk Project is a longitudinal study of brain structure (and function) in subjects at high risk of developing schizophrenia in the next 5-10 years for genetic reasons....

Warwick M, Doody G, Lawrie S, Kestelman J, Best J, Johnstone E
J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry . 1999 Apr; 66(5):628-32. PMID: 10209175
Objectives: Cognitive impairment has been reported in people with sex chromosome aneuploides (SCAs) and it has been proposed that the presence of an extra sex chromosome may have an adverse...

Lawrie S, Whalley H, Kestelman J, Abukmeil S, Byrne M, Hodges A, et al.
Lancet . 1999 Feb; 353(9146):30-3. PMID: 10023948
Background: Schizophrenia is a multifactorial disorder that is associated with disturbed cerebral development. Structural brain-imaging studies have consistently shown that the volumes of some parts of the brain, particularly the...

Biernacki W, Redpath A, Best J, MacNee W
Eur Respir J . 1998 Jan; 10(11):2455-9. PMID: 9426078
Evidence for the presence of emphysema in patients with asthma is controversial. We have previously shown that decreased lung density, measured by computed tomographic (CT) scanning, preoperatively, correlates with morphometric...

Perros P, Deary I, Sellar R, Best J, Frier B
Diabetes Care . 1997 Jun; 20(6):1013-8. PMID: 9167117
Objective: Previous studies of a cohort of 100 patients with IDDM have shown that a history of recurrent severe hypoglycemia is associated with a modest impairment of cognitive function. The...
