#introduction: I am obsessed with the biology of #hallucinations and #delusions.
I am a #newPI at the Francis Crick Institute, London. In our lab, the #Psychosis Collective, we study the neural circuits and immune processes underlying unfounded perceptions and thoughts 
. I look forward to great #neuroscience #immunology #neuroimmunology #psychiatry here!
This is me moving to London without ever having been to London before.
@KathaSchmack Very fascinating! How are you researching neural circuits underlying psychotic experiences in mice?
@BastiaanvTol Thanks! We use a cross-species computational psychiatry approach: we develop behavioural tasks and computational models that capture psychosis-like inferences both in humans and in mice. In humans, we relate it to subjective experience (e.g., hallucinations), in mice we relate it to neural circuit activity (e.g., striatal dopamine).
