About Josselin

Professor Josselin Houenou serves as Professor of Psychiatry at Northern Health within the Department of Psychiatry, Melbourne Medical School, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences at the University of Melbourne. He leads the MODE-BD (Multi-scale Oscillations, Dynamics & Emotion in Bipolar Disorder) team, based at the Department of Psychiatry and Northern Hospital. The team conceptualizes bipolar disorder as a dynamical disease characterized by systemic failure of temporal adaptation and fragility in homeostatic regulation, modeled as a 'broken thermostat' using Dynamical Systems Theory. Their research investigates how microscopic neuronal abnormalities, such as defects in calcium signaling, propagate to neural circuits and manifest as fluctuations in energy, sleep, emotion, and mood. Methods include longitudinal neuroimaging with high-field MRI and EEG, high-frequency monitoring of sleep, activity, and mood to identify dynamical markers like Critical Slowing Down preceding relapses, alongside clinical, circadian, and rodent studies. Houenou's broader academic interests encompass neuroimaging in psychiatry, focusing on bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and autism spectrum disorder using structural MRI.
