The Pitt Psychiatry Meet the PI lecture series continues on October 23rd when we will feature the research of Dean Salisbury, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry, 
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. 

Dr. Salisbury is an international expert in the field of pathology and pathophysiology in early psychosis. His primary research focus is understanding the neurophysiological and MRI structural and functional measures of impaired sensation, perception, and basic memory function in psychosis to facilitate early identification of the disorder. He helped to change the conceptualization of schizophrenia as a static, perinatal encephalopathy by pioneering the combined use of structural brain imaging and electroencephalographic (EEG) measurement of auditory cortex responses to demonstrate that progressive gray matter loss during the early disease course of schizophrenia is linked to progressive auditory impairment.
