Paul Morrison

Dr. Paul Morrison is a researcher with a multidisciplinary focus spanning neuroscience, psychopharmacology, and particle physics. Their work addresses critical areas such as the neurocognitive effects of cannabis compounds like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), mechanisms of drug-induced psychosis, and high-energy physics phenomena like neutrino oscillations.

Research Interests: Morrison's fingerprint reveals expertise in:

• Neuroscience: Cannabis effects on working memory, pre-speech neural coherence, and paranoia
• Genetics: BRCA1/BRCA2 alleles, COMT gene interactions with cannabinoids
• Particle Physics: Muon neutrino and antineutrino disappearance phenomena
• Psychiatric Modeling: Experimental approaches to schizophrenia and psychotic disorders

Publications Trends: Their research output shows a consistent focus on cannabis pharmacology (2007-2015), with recent contributions to particle physics in 2023. Key subfields include cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychiatric genetics, and experimental physics.

Academic Journey: Morrison completed their Doctor of Philosophy thesis Cannabinoids and Psychosis – Cause and Treatment (2012) under supervisors Professor Robin Murray, Dr. David Ffytche, and Professor Shitij Kapur.
