Overview

Neil A. Harrison is affiliated with Cardiff University in the United Kingdom. Their research work spans multiple areas within Neuroscience and Medicine, focusing especially on Biological Psychiatry, Cognitive Neuroscience, Neurology, Behavioral Neuroscience, and Psychiatry and Mental Health.

The scientist's recent publications reflect a diverse engagement in brain disorders, neuroinflammation, and mental health research topics. Notable recent papers include:

Subcortical Brain Volume, Regional Cortical Thickness, and Cortical Surface Area Across Disorders: Findings From the ENIGMA ADHD, ASD, and OCD Working Groups (2020), published in American Journal of Psychiatry
Wearable movement-tracking data identify Parkinson's disease years before clinical diagnosis (2023), published in Nature Medicine
Whole-blood expression of inflammasome- and glucocorticoid-related mRNAs correctly separates treatment-resistant depressed patients from drug-free and responsive patients in the BIODEP study (2020), published in Translational Psychiatry
Choroid plexus enlargement is associated with neuroinflammation and reduction of blood brain barrier permeability in depression (2021), published in NeuroImage Clinical
Dysconnectivity of a brain functional network was associated with blood inflammatory markers in depression (2021), published in Brain Behavior and Immunity

Their collaborations include frequent co-authorship with Edward T. Bullmore, Carmine M. Pariante, Jonathan Cavanagh, Valeria Mondelli, and Philip J. Cowen. This network of collaborators appears across numerous studies and indicates a strong professional association within the psychiatric and neuroscience research communities.

Neil A. Harrison's publication record also highlights regular contributions to several scientific journals, including:

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) with 20 publications
Brain Behavior and Immunity with 16 publications
Translational Psychiatry with 8 publications
Molecular Psychiatry with 3 publications
PLoS ONE with 3 publications

Their work frequently addresses topics such as:

Tryptophan and brain disorders
Stress Responses and Cortisol
Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration Mechanisms
