Dr. Jerillyn Kent's work focuses on understanding motor abnormalities in psychosis, and she studied both cerebellar- and basal ganglia-mediated motor behavior in the psychosis spectrum. More recently, she has begun using neurophysiological and neuroimaging methods to explore the significance of motor abnormalities in psychosis. Specifically, she has projects underway investigating the possible role of the cerebellum in predictive coding dysfunction and the possible relationship of motor abnormalities to the integrity of motor resonance, a component of social cognition, in psychosis.
