Can neural network instability in schizophrenia be improved with a very low carbohydrate ketogenic diet?

项目摘要/摘要 这一多样性补充资料将大大增强Zanib Naeem女士的研究潜力。 并使她在顶级博士项目中具有竞争力。Naeem女士将参加一个团队 一个专注于生酮饮食对超重精神分裂症患者的好处的项目。 她将熟悉我们在研究脑血管疾病的病理生理学时使用的一系列工具。 精神分裂症：结构和功能核磁共振、神经心理学和临床访谈。她会的 我还参加了后Bac股权和学习计划(PROPEL)课程 活动，其中PI(福特博士)担任导师。通过PROPEL计划，她获得了成功。 Naeem将参加生物医学研讨会并获得职业发展机会 机会，如赠款撰写研讨会和模拟面试。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT This diversity supplement will significantly enhance the research potential of Ms. Zanib Naeem and make her competitive for top-tier PhD programs. Ms. Naeem will be involved in a team project that focuses on the benefits of a ketogenic diet in overweight people with schizophrenia. She will become familiar with an array of tools we use in our studies of the pathophysiology of schizophrenia: structural and functional MRI, neuropsychology, and clinical interviews. She will also participate in the Post-Bac Program for Equity and Learning (PROPEL) curriculum activities, on which the PI (Dr. Ford) serves as a mentor. Through the PROPEL program, Ms. Naeem will both participate in biomedical seminars and have access to career development opportunities, such as grant writing workshops and mock interviews.
