Highlights
Group G19 develops its scientific activity mainly working on molecular and genetic bases, neuro- cognition, neurophysiology, neuroinflammation and neuroimaging in psychiatric disorders.
It is important to remark that in 2015 the following projects were granted: ‘Exploration of the alterations on the cerebral connectivity for a new typification of schizophrenia’ (PI: Vicente Molina) and ‘Inflamma- tory alterations in mental diseases: the role of Nrf2 and inflammasome pathways’ (PI: Javier R. Caso).
The Group has also continued with its national and international researches: ‘Optimization of Treatment and Management of Schizophrenia in Europe’ (OP- TiMiSE); ‘Environment and genes in Schizophrenia’ – Research groups from Madrid Regional Research Council ; ‘Functional connectivity in inhibitory pro- cess involved in alcohol consumption relapse’; ‘The role of micro-biota on the origin and consequenc- es of inflammation in depression. Translational re- search’ and ‘Characterization of psychophysiologi- cal endophenotypes in children of alcoholic parents’, amongst others.

Research lines in neurocognition, molecular genet- ics and neuroinflammation have achieved interest- ing results. Several PhD Theses have been done and the Group continues with its academic activities coordinating the ‘Interuniversity Master Initiation in Research in Mental Health’.
Finally, Dr. Lobo joined our group, G19, incorporat- ing new lines of research within the Dementias area, standing out his project ZARADEMP V: ‘Dementia and depression in the elderly community: case-con- trol study on incident cases and the association with ‘non-cognoscitive’ psychopathology and co- morbidity’.
