The genetic disruption of specific cell processes crucial to brain development was linked to disease risk in a wide range of mental health disorders including schizophrenia.
Sleep deprivation increases the levels of serotonin 2A neurotransmitter receptors within 6 - 8 hours. Abnormal serotonin 2A receptor function is associated with hallucinations, cognitive impairment, and is linked to psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia.
Clinical symptoms of schizophrenia, such as psychosis and cognitive deficits, can be predicted from the activity of neurons derived from a patient's stem cells.
Microglia showed DNA methylation profiles that were distinct from other cells in the central nervous system.
A new study in mice found excessive sugar intake during puberty could be an environmental risk factor for the development of psychiatric disorders in those with genetic predispositions.
Brain organoid study reveals multiple changes in brain cells during early embryonic development may contribute to schizophrenia later in life.
A new study found altered cortical and subcortical networks in those with schizophrenia and their unaffected first-degree relatives. Findings suggest brain regions associated with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia are partly separated from brain regions implicating neural abnormalities.
People with schizophrenia struggle to manage low-level negative emotions as the negative emotions increase. Those with schizophrenia are less likely to employ coping strategies when stressed than those without the disorder, causing an escalation in their negative emotions.
A new brain model explored bursts of human brain activity never before studied. The bursts may serve as potential biomarkers for depression, dementia, schizophrenia, and ADHD.
Genetic risk factors for certain mental health disorders may impact people's decisions regarding whether to live in urban areas or rural areas, a new study reports.
Both those with schizophrenia and those with social anhedonia have alterations in the social brain network and a diminished correlation with real-world social network size.
Regular consumption of mushrooms may reduce a person's risk of developing depression, a new study reports.
