          Understanding Delusions of Control: How Schizophrenia Alters Perception of Action

          A new study sheds light on the phenomenon of 'delusions of control', often experienced by schizophrenia patients. This condition, marked by the belief that one's actions are controlled by external forces, is linked to an altered perception of the time between actions and their outcomes.

          Shared Genetics for Cannabis Use and Psychiatric Disorders

          Researchers discovered shared genetic underpinnings for cannabis use and psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Employing advanced statistical modelling, the study revealed a complex interplay of genetic variants increasing or decreasing risk factors for these conditions. These findings may contribute to personalized preventive measures and interventional strategies.

          Schizophrenia Risk Genes: Placenta’s Role May Outweigh Brain’s

          In a paradigm shift, researchers found over 100 genes associated with schizophrenia risk operate primarily through their role in the placenta, rather than the developing brain. The research emphasizes the placenta's significance in illness development, challenging the century-old assumption that genes for schizophrenia risk primarily affect the brain.

          Synaptic Clues Blur Line Between Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder

          Researchers found compelling molecular evidence suggesting that bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, traditionally viewed as distinct conditions, may have more similarities than previously thought. By examining thousands of proteins present at synapses in the brains of patients with each disorder, they found changes that were remarkably alike. The team also discovered similar biochemical alterations in mice with a mutated gene linked to both conditions. The study reveals the shared molecular roots of these conditions and points to the synapse as a critical area of study for psychiatric disorders.

          Cannabis Use Disorder Linked to Increased Schizophrenia Risk in Males

          A new study finds that young men with cannabis use disorder are at an increased risk of developing schizophrenia. The study, which analyzed health records data of more than 6 million people in Denmark, estimated that up to 30% of schizophrenia cases among young men aged 21-30 might have been prevented by avoiding cannabis use disorder, highlighting the need for preventative measures and treatments for cannabis use disorder and schizophrenia.

          Schizophrenia Identified in 60 Seconds via Visual Fixation

          Researchers have identified spatial and temporal abnormalities in spontaneous fixational saccades as a potential biomarker for cognitive and positive symptoms in schizophrenia. Researchers combined patient data of fixational eye movement recorded over 60 seconds with machine learning technology, which was able to determine schizophrenia with 85% accuracy. This discovery suggests that fixational saccades could serve as an easily obtainable complementary diagnostic tool for the condition.

          Cognitive Flexibility: How the Brain Learns New Rules to Navigate the Changing World

          In everyday life, our brains adapt to new situations using the prefrontal cortex. A team of neuroscientists discovered a special class of neurons in the prefrontal cortex that enable flexible behavior, and when malfunctioning, may contribute to conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. These long-range inhibitory connections synchronize gamma oscillations across the left and right prefrontal cortex, allowing the brain to change its behavior at the right moment. This research could lead to new treatments for psychiatric conditions by targeting these long-range inhibitory connections.

          Identification of DNA Methylation Markers in Newborns for Increased Schizophrenia Risk

          Researchers identified DNA methylation markers that may indicate the risk of developing schizophrenia later in life in newborns. This breakthrough discovery could allow for early detection and intervention to reduce the impact of the disease. By studying blood samples collected at birth, the team was able to identify unique methylation differences in cell types that could become potential clinical biomarkers for future early detection of schizophrenia.
