DESCRIPTION:Research into the brain basis of neuropsychiatric conditions c
 an use clues to identify which brain regions are implicated\, based on the
  known relationships between brain structure and function. Using human bra
 in tissue donations as well as live brain scanning\, in Oxford University 
 we are conducting research into the brain architecture of basic sensory pr
 ocessing and higher cognitive functions which are disrupted in these neuro
 psychiatric conditions. This talk describes recent developments that will 
 fuel current and future neurobiological and clinical research\, including 
 potential new biomarkers and neuroimaging technology.\n\nSteven Chance: Af
 ter studying for an undergraduate degree in Human Sciences at UCL in Londo
 n\, Dr Chance undertook his doctoral research in psychiatry and neuroscien
 ce at the University of Oxford. He was then awarded a research fellowship 
 and he and his research group have since conducted several research projec
 ts on the neurobiology and functional anatomy of autism\, schizophrenia an
 d dementia. He is now Associate Professor in Clinical Neurosciences at the
  University of Oxford where he is also co-director of the UK Autism Brain 
 Bank. He has been one of the pioneers in the application of post-mortem br
 ain imaging and in the assessment of columnar organization of the cerebral
  cortex in neuropsychiatric conditions.\nSpeakers:\nDr Steven Chance (UK A
