Link Between Adolescent Bullying, Adult Psychosis Not Likely Causal
Researchers sought to overcome previous limitations on research exploring childhood bullying and adult psychosis.
Year In Review Schizophrenia
Strong Link Found Between Postpartum Depression and Suicide Risk
Study is the first to compare suicide risk of new mothers with postpartum disorder to other categories of women.
Genetic Variant Could Identify Cannabis Users at Risk for Psychosis
Healthy participants with a variation in the AKT1 gene were at higher risk of acute psychotic response to cannabis.
No Link Between Schizophrenia Risk, Smaller Subcortical Brain Volumes
Researchers analyzed nearly 12 000 brain scans to investigate whether smaller brain volumes and schizophrenia share any genetic connection.
Subgroups of Schizophrenia Linked to Various Brain Anomalies
Different anomalies in the corpus callosum were associated with different symptoms in the schizophrenic participants.
Research Uncovers Genetic Variant Underlying Schizophrenia
In a study of 65 000 participants, researchers uncovered a link between elevated levels of C4A protein, excessive synaptic pruning, and the development of schizophrenia.
Quantitative Measurement in Psychiatry and Personalized Medicine
Therapeutic drug monitoring is vastly underused in psychiatry but could better inform clinical decision-making.
Brain Cell Deficit May Contribute to Schizophrenia
In a mouse model of schizophrenia, the rodents’ brains showed a significant decrease in inhibitory CA2 neurons.
High Fat, Low Carb Diet May Effectively Treat Schizophrenia
The diet provides alternative energy sources from ketone bodies, products of fat breakdown, thereby helping to circumvent abnormally functioning cellular energy pathways in the brain.
Chickens Reveal Genetic Links to Anxiety
Chicken genes are grouped into much smaller linkage blocks than mammalian genomes are, allowing researchers to pinpoint genome regions associated with a trait, such as anxious behavior.
