OverviewAI-generated summary

Amy Grooms investigates catatonia and its treatment, including cases refractory to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Her work also examines the genetic underpinnings of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability, with a focus on candidate genes identified through clinical exome sequencing. Grooms has also explored the use of SAINT for treatment-resistant depression and the medico-legal aspects of consent in ECT. Her research network includes collaborators at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, such as Samidha Tripathi, Alex Preston, Pritmohinder S. Gill, and Laura B. Dunn, with whom she has co-authored publications.
