Cerebral cortical alterations in adolescent early-onset psychosis: a surface-based morphometry mega-analysis
|
Abstract Cortical brain morphology in early-onset psychosis (EOP; age of onset <19 years) is poorly understood, partly due to recruitment constraints linked to its low incidence. We pooled T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from 387 adolescents with EOP (mean age=16.1 ± 1.5; 49.6% female) and 338 healthy controls (CTR; mean age=15.8 ± 1.9, 54.4% female) from nine research sites worldwide.

Why Executives Don’t Respond to Hype - and What Actually Wins Their Trust
We often hear that confidence sells, vision wins, and big ideas are what land big deals. But if you’ve ever pitched to a C-level executive, you know that’s not always true. Executives don’t just look at what could go right. They obsess over what might go wrong. That’s exactly why I found Ashkan Rajaee’s framework so valuable — because it speaks to a truth that most business advice ignores: The final decision-maker isn’t wondering how exciting your idea is.
Genocide in Syria -Right off the Pages of the Quran
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 7 min read · -- Genocide in Syria —Right off the Pages of the Quran Are jihadists ‘extremists’ or just following standard Islamic teachings? In a recent article I discussed the beheading of 70 men, women and children by an ISIS faction in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which occurred only weeks ago.
Was Jesus 40 years old when Crucified?
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 7 min read · -- Rethinking his age from history and scripture Tradition tells us that Jesus was 33 (or thereabouts) at the crucifixion, however, both the Bible and historical evidence shows a slightly different picture. 33 is a nice round number and it is, as far as I can tell, an extrapolation from the fact that no Gospel author gives the exact years of the beginning and end of Jesus’ earthly ministry.
Christians and Jews ‘take the place’ of Muslim sinners in Hell
Christians and Jews ‘take the place’ of Muslim sinners in Hell Exposing the twisted afterlife teachings of Muhammad Islamic teachings come from two main sources. Firstly, the Koran and secondly, from the ‘Hadith’ collections. The Hadiths are lists of the accepted sayings and teachings of Muhammad gathered together by the early Muslim scholars and historians. Different Hadiths have different levels of authority.
The ‘Islamic Dilemma’ - How the Koran refutes itself
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 10 min read · -- Is the End of Islamic Theology and Koranic Fundamentalism near? How Islam Refutes Islam According to Muslims the Koran is the speech of Allah recited by Muhammad. The ‘Islamic dilemma’, as we will find out, is not only a theological paradox for Muslims, but it is an intellectual weapon in the hands of anybody who is a sceptic of Islam; whether they are of other faiths, no faith or ex-Muslims living under an apostacy death sentence.
How the First Christians Dared Anyone to Prove them Wrong
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 8 min read · -- The Creed that Proclaimed the Resurrection in the 30’s AD A common misconception amongst the public — and a common misrepresentation amongst atheists — is to say that the Resurrection of Jesus was an invention of Christians later in the first century. The implication being that novel concepts grew up around Jesus after his death.
Why worship Jesus but not Alexander the Great if history says they were both divine?
Why worship Jesus but not Alexander the Great if history says they were both divine? 5 reasons to distinguish the Gospels from other ancient supernatural biographies I am much indebted to the work of Dr Gary Habermas as well as N.T Wright on the historical case for the resurrection of Jesus. All of the Christian faith stands or falls on this one, bold claim (1 Corinthians 15:14). They, and many others, have done excellent work giving a secular, critical case for the basic facts of the Resurrection.
Atrocity in DRC - 70 Christian men, women and children beheaded by ISIS
Atrocity in DRC — 70 Christian men, women and children beheaded by ISIS African Christians suffer as Islamists reach yet another terrifying moral low It is no secret that brutal Christian persecution occurs every day, all around the world. However, only days ago, an Islamist atrocity that should have been front-page news in every major global media outlet has gone by virtually without comment.
The Olivet Discourse - ‘False Prophecy’ or Profound Prediction? Part II of II
The Olivet Discourse — ‘False Prophecy’ or Profound Prediction? Part II of II Disentangling one of the hardest narratives in the Bible In the first part of this article, we considered an overview of the Olivet Discourse, especially Matthew’s version. Here, I’ll pick up right where we left off. If you haven’t read part 1, that’s really necessary to understand what follows: What does ‘this generation’ mean? The Greek word here, is ‘genea.’ It is where we get our modern word ‘genetics’ from.
The Olivet Discourse - ‘False Prophecy’ or Profound Prediction? Part I of II
The Olivet Discourse — ‘False Prophecy’ or Profound Prediction? Part I of II Disentangling one of the hardest narratives in the Bible There is a common claim that Jesus ‘wrongly’ foretold the timing of his Second Coming in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21). Bertrand Russell made the claim as have others. Did he actually say he would return within a ‘generation’ or have we lost touch with the original text? First, what is the Olivet Discourse?
God is not a moral relativist - why atheists are wrong about divine commandments
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 6 min read · -- God is not a moral relativist — why atheists are wrong about divine commandments Reward and punishment — an incomplete picture of objective morality There is a common atheist ‘cluster’ of objections about the goodness and objectivity of God’s moral standards which purport to show that, even if God exists his moral standards are just as arbitrary as any other moral standard.
Atheism is the ‘Opium of the People’
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 11 min read · -- The anaesthesia of the atheistic worldview — why life is ‘easier’ without belief There are days when I remember being an atheist back in my 20’s and much of my 30’s and I almost wish I could go back to that easy, simple, reductionistic frame of mind. These thoughts bubble up not because Christianity is false, but precisely because it is true.
The ‘Problem of Good’ - Why an ‘Evil or Indifferent’ God makes no sense
Anthony James · Follow 8 min read · -- Atheists and ‘humanists’ must go back to the philosophical drawing board There is a conceptual issue at the heart of the ‘problem of Evil.’ I’ve been thinking about it recently. That is, we need to consider, the ‘problem’ of Good, as well. Obviously, the classic ‘problem of evil’ is something like what follows: ‘God is all-knowing and all-powerful and created the universe. The universe contains evil and unjust suffering.
A Tragedy in Gilead - 7 Biblical Lessons Learnt from Jephthah’s daughter
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 8 min read · -- A Tragedy in Gilead — 7 Biblical Lessons Learnt from Jephthah’s Daughter When and how discerning the will of God goes horribly wrong The Old Testament uses many narratives to explain the theme of involuntary human sacrifice and its’ great intrinsic evil.
The binding of Isaac by Abraham - a polemic against human sacrifice
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 9 min read · -- The binding of Isaac by Abraham — a polemic against human sacrifice How atheists distort one of the most important stories of the Bible We all know the story of Abraham and Isaac — even those of us who have never studied it in Genesis — it’s everywhere. It’s in paintings, sculptures, literature, philosophy and even pop culture. Why?
Did God attack 42 kids with bears for making a joke?
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 8 min read · -- Did God attack 42 kids with bears for making a joke? ‘Old Testament Violence’ in the full historical and narrative context A Syrian brown bear — likely the animal referred to in the story The killing of 42 ‘small children’ by God for making a ‘joke’ about a prophets’ bald head is spun gold for anti-Christian sceptical vitriol. Another example of ‘Old Testament Violence’ and alleged further proof that God is a ruthless cosmic war-criminal.
7 Biblical prophecies that we experience every single day
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 7 min read · -- When we speak of prophecy we so often think of it as something in the distant past, or something to be experienced in the End Times (assuming we’re not nearing, or in them already).
Ephesians 6:11 ‘pm’? Trump, Politics and Carefully Discerning Scripture
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow Published in Mustard Seed Sentinel · 7 min read · -- Los Angeles Times, 18 July 2024; ‘A shocking hour of missed chances to catch gunman before he shot Trump’ Whatever your political opinions, let’s try something fresh and put them aside for a few minutes. I don’t think we will see a phenomenon like Donald J Trump for generations and the next few years will show what impact his bombastic second term will have on the United States and the world at large.
Some problems with discussing the ‘Problem of Evil’
Anthony James · Follow 6 min read · -- This could just be my own impression, but over the last 20 years or so since the so-called ‘New Atheist’ movement began, co-inciding with the rise of the Internet Age, podcasts, blogs and other new forms of media, the narrative seems to be shifting. The old narratives… Back in the 2000’s and early 2010’s debates were often about the existence of God, pure-and-simple. It was evolution vs creationism.
Has the Book of Daniel been ‘thrown to the lions’ of textual criticism?
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 8 min read · -- Has the Book of Daniel been ‘thrown to the lions’ of textual criticism? The Book of Daniel is possibly the most criticised Book of the Bible. Secular scholars levy several main claims against its’ validity.
‘Theosis’ - do Christians become ‘gods’?
‘Theosis’ — do Christians become ‘gods’? Christianity is a monotheistic religion. There is only one God, who is uncreated, eternal, all-knowing, all-good and all-powerful. But did the early church believe that the final state of the Christian is to become a small ‘g’ god? Is that belief still held in those terms by the majority of the Christian world? Heavenly beings in the Bible… As Christians, we insist on strict monotheism, as do Jews and Muslims.
‘We didn’t start the fire’ - Billy Joel, the Prophet Joel and our fallen world
Anthony James · Follow 6 min read · -- ‘We didn’t start the fire — it was always burning since the world’s been turning…and after we are gone it will burn on and on and on…’ So says the chorus of ‘We didn’t start the Fire’ the 1980’s hit by Billy Joel. The song doesn’t have a conventional lyrical structure aside from its’ catchy chorus but simply lists various events of the twentieth century.
5 Christian heresies still alive and well in 2025
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 6 min read · -- 5 Christian heresies still alive and well in 2025 ‘Of course I’m not a heretic!’ Heretics are people who try to divide the Church or deliberately misinterpret the Bible’s teachings. Especially in other denominations… We used to burn people at the stake for heresy! Don’t even use the word! That’s how we all think.
Why doesn’t God just destroy Satan?
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 4 min read · -- Why did God simply not destroy Satan? Demons can’t and won’t repent so why not just throw them into the Lake of Fire now? I’ve heard this asked before. It’s a good question. On the face of it, it would seem to make sense that when the Devil and his angels fell from grace, bringing evil and disfunction into creation, that an all-powerful God should have just snuffed them out. That does seem to be what an all-powerful God would do.
Why secular ‘Humanists’ need to rethink ‘human sacrifice’ in the Bible
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 5 min read · -- Why secular ‘Humanists’ need to rethink ‘human sacrifice’ in the Bible The God of the Bible is often portrayed by atheists (anti-theists) secular ‘humanists’ as cruel; requiring the bloody ‘human sacrifice’ of the Cross for the world to come back into communion with the divine.
GOD - damned if He does, damned if He Doesn’t?
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 9 min read · -- I am a big fan of the different freewill theodicies for the ‘problem of evil.’ That is, that God created a good world (call it Eden) and that suffering entered by the fall of the angels who introduced or aggravated natural evil and that humans also fell, with Adam’s sin spiralling out of control and getting worse throughout history.
The Resurrection of Jesus- where are all the ‘copycats’?
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 4 min read · -- In all of human history there has only been a single evidenced claim of a person being Resurrected from death in the flesh after claiming Godhood — Jesus of Nazareth. Isn’t this strange? Most new religions copy one another.
The Death of Judas - why this former criminal lawyer thinks the Biblical witness accounts harmonise
Anthony James · Follow 11 min read · -- The Taking of Christ — Carravagio The ‘difference’ in the accounts of Judas’ death between Luke-Acts and the Gospel of Matthew is probably the most challenging apparent difficulty in the Bible. As a former criminal lawyer, I’ve visited crime scenes, assessed crime scene photos and read witness statements with far more troubling inconsistences. However, apparent contradictions can usually easily be cleared up by speaking with the people involved.
Checkmate! God, Freewill and Chess
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 6 min read · -- Don’t worry, this isn’t actually about chess. You don’t need to know or even like chess to read on. Personally, I love chess. I’m not that good, but I occasionally get a nice win in. I guess the main reason I don’t win all the time is that I have freewill and so I make mistakes. I can’t see many moves ahead like a chess engine can.
10 Modern Christian Geniuses
Anthony James · Follow 4 min read · -- ‘…be transformed by the renewing of your mind’ (Romans 12:2) Contrary to the claim of many casual atheists, Christianity is not for superstituous fools. This article is far from exhaustive and so many more names could be put on this list. If anyone can think of somebody I should have included, please let me know in the responses.
A Tale of Two Gardens - Christ and the Serpent
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 4 min read · -- Unlike in The Passion of the Christ the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ agony in the Garden of Gethsemane contain no snake that Christ dramatically stomps on. Not visibly, anyway. However, we find that the most significant events in salvation involve Gardens — places of life, food, order, air, light and beauty.
Can ‘Adam & Eve’ withstand the modern world and should ‘humanists’ care?
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 9 min read · -- The consensus position amongst anthropologists and geneticists is that species arise from population groups not from individual couples and that the modern human species emerged out of Africa around 60,000 years ago. At no point did we drop to a population bottleneck of less than, at most, a few thousand people. We certainly haven’t bottlenecked at a single reproductive couple.
The ‘Apocalypse’ of Job? A Foreshadowing of the End Times
Anthony James · Follow 4 min read · -- Viktor Vasnetsov — The Four Horsement of the Apocalypse In as much as The Book of Job is about the problem of evil and the mystery of suffering it is also a theological essay about the nature of reality. It depicts a cosmic war going on behind the scenes between God and Satan. Revelation — the unveiling — also shows us this truth. We, like Job, are caught in the middle like causalities of war.
3 strange tactics atheists use against Christians in debates
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 8 min read · -- The digital public square — Youtube, Facebook…and Medium…are full of remonstrations between Christians and sceptics. It seems that atheists often use a handful of effective, but unwarranted, debating tactics. The common denominator of all is to distract from the core debate issue and secondly, set up a strawman version of Christianity that is easy to blow over. Here are 3 tactics sceptics often employ in debates.
The Book of Job is not just about suffering
Anthony James · Follow 9 min read · -- ‘…and he [Satan] said ‘I have gone round about the earth and walked through it’ (Job 1:7) The biblical figure Job is you. Job is everyone. Perhaps we’re not as righteous and blameless as Job is depicted but the point is that we live in a universe full of suffering. If that’s not enough, more often than not, that suffering can be prolonged, intense and seemingly pointless. We each carry the stripes of cruel fate, don’t we?
Five reasons Evil exists according to the Bible
Anthony James · Follow 9 min read · -- Art by Painter / Poet William Blake This is easy, isn’t it? All evil comes from God. Didn’t Yahweh say ‘I create the peace and I make the evil?’ (Isaiah 45:7). I guess I could end the article there but there’s something called context. In that oft-quoted passage Yahweh is directing his speech to the Persian Emperor Cyrus and reminding all that the fate of nations is in God’s sovereign hands.
The Trinity - does Christianity have the most powerful understanding of God?
Member-only story Anthony James · Follow 9 min read · -- Orthodox Church Iconography Anyone who spends any time at all researching their Christian faith, especially online, will soon come across attacks on Christianity that concentrate on one fundamental and ancient doctrine — the Trinity. This doctrine — shared by all mainline Protestants, Catholics and Eastern Orthodox — is the butt of attacks from atheists, Muslims, Rabbinic Jews and online trolls.
