معرفی
Dr. James Kesby is a Lecturer at the School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Queensland, with a focus on developmental neurobiology and psychosis research. He is affiliated with the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research and leads a cross-species research program connecting corticostriatal circuitry to decision-making deficits in schizophrenia.
Research Interests:
- Corticostriatal circuitry in psychosis
- Decision-making and cognitive flexibility
- Translational rodent-human models
- Dopamine and schizophrenia
- Developmental neurobiology
- Neurochemical mechanisms of cognitive deficits
Article Trends (2025–2023): Recent studies focus on corticostriatal interactions in reversal learning, dopamine modulation in cognitive flexibility, and translational paradigms for psychosis. Articles from 2022–2021 extend findings to clinical schizophrenia subtypes and novel therapeutic targets like GLP-1RAs.
Education and Academic History: Dr. Kesby completed his PhD in 2010 at University of Queensland with Prof. Darryl Eyles and A/Prof. Thomas Burne, studying developmental vitamin D deficiency and dopamine systems in schizophrenia models.
Research Infrastructure: His work operates within the Developmental Neurobiology Research Stream at the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research, integrating clinical and preclinical methodologies.
