Overview

Shane McKie is affiliated with the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, focusing primarily on medical research. Their work spans several subfields, including rheumatology, immunology, cognitive neuroscience, experimental and cognitive psychology, as well as psychiatry and mental health.

The main areas of study in McKie's research portfolio include systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) research, functional brain connectivity studies, biochemical analysis and sensing techniques, regulation of appetite and obesity, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, obesity with regard to physical activity and diet, and sphingolipid metabolism and signaling.

McKie has contributed to multiple publications with frequent coauthors such as Rebecca Elliott, Michelle Barraclough, Ben Parker, Ian N Bruce, and Nikoleta S. Stamataki.

  • Lara D. Veeken
  • Journal of Nutrition
  • Psychiatry Research Neuroimaging
  • Nutrients
  • Schizophrenia

Among recent research papers authored or coauthored by McKie are the following:

  • Stevia Beverage Consumption prior to Lunch Reduces Appetite and Total Energy Intake without Affecting Glycemia or Attentional Bias to Food Cues: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial in Healthy Adults (2020, Journal of Nutrition)
  • Changes in the neural correlates of self-blame following mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in remitted depressed participants (2020, Psychiatry Research Neuroimaging)
  • The effects of disease activity on neuronal and behavioural cognitive processes in systemic lupus erythematosus (2021, Lara D. Veeken)
  • The effects of disease activity, inflammation, depression and cognitive fatigue on resting state fMRI in systemic lupus erythematosus (2021, Lara D. Veeken)
  • Mapping the Homeostatic and Hedonic Brain Responses to Stevia Compared to Caloric Sweeteners and Water: A Double-Blind Randomised Controlled Crossover Trial in Healthy Adults (2022, Nutrients)

The research outputs reflect an interest in both clinical aspects of systemic lupus erythematosus, such as disease activity and inflammation, and in neurological and cognitive effects related to these conditions. Additionally, work on appetite regulation includes studies involving stevia consumption and its effects on energy intake and brain response.

  • Rebecca Elliott
  • Michelle Barraclough
  • Ben Parker
  • Ian N Bruce
  • Nikoleta S. Stamataki
