Researchers have resolved the structures of all 12 serotonin receptor subtypes.
People who display high schizotypal traits are more likely to perceive effort-reward imbalance. Researchers found a link between effort-reward imbalance and reduced gray matter volume, and altered resting-state functional connectivity in those with schizotypal traits.
The aged non-human primate hippocampus showed signs of increased inflammation, genomic and epigenomic instability, and a loss of proteostasis.
Amotivation and anhedonia rather than expressive dysfunction play a critical role in determining social functioning in those with schizophrenia.
Exposure to high static magnetic fields alleviated anxiety and improved both spatial and social memory in mice within two months of exposure.
