These findings are particularly interesting because the cholinergic system is a new treatment target for cognitive and clinical symptoms in schizophrenia. 🌟

We found consistent alterations across multiple components of the cholinergic system, most notably reductions in muscarinic (M1/M4) and nicotinic receptor levels. Meta-analyses showed moderate to large effects in the striatum, hippocampus, and frontal cortex.

In this work, we examined over three decades of molecular imaging and post-mortem research, synthesizing evidence from 61 studies.

Excited to share with you our systematic review and meta-analysis on the cholinergic system in schizophrenia, just published in Molecular Psychiatry. 🧠

It was an honour to host the #CNRSP2025 in Ottawa, where researchers, clinicians, people with lived experience, and families came together, sharing a collective vision for advancing research and care in schizophrenia and psychosis.
Thank you to our sponsors and everyone who made this event possible!

It was a pleasure to present today some of the work we do in the #CRANILab using digital technologies to better assess and treat cognition at the #HBHLSymposium2025. 🧠

Hey #SOBP2025 attendees, be sure to check out @hollyshannon.bsky.social @synthiaguimond.bsky.social poster this afternoon! Holly used PCA to explore how brain regions associated with reward and social media behaviours cluster to predict domains associated w problematic social media use!

Say goodbye to future cures to all of the top diseases.

Excited to take part in this event and discuss how digital technologies can help us better assess and treat cognition in our mental health system. 🧠 #DigitalMentalHealth

Congratulations, Dr. Rami Al Haddad, on your PhD defense! 🥳
It was a pleasure to be your co-supervisor and to see you grow as a researcher over the years. You should be proud of all you’ve accomplished. I'm looking forward to seeing what’s next!
