(BMC, 2020-05-19)
BACKGROUND: Several quantitative studies support the effectiveness of the Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) psychosocial skills training group component for adolescents with impulse-control disorder and/or emotional ...
Cannabis use and nonuse in patients with first-episode psychosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing neurocognitive functioning
(Association of European Psychiatrists, 2020-01-31)
BACKGROUND.: The implications of cannabis use in the onset of early psychosis and the severity of psychotic symptoms have resulted in a proliferation of studies on this issue. However, few have examined the effects of ...
Glyceryl trinitrate in first-episode psychosis unmedicated with antipsychotics: A randomised controlled pilot study
(Sage, 2020-08)
There is a pressing need for new classes of treatment for psychosis. A key therapeutic target for novel compounds is the NMDA receptor, which may be modulated by nitric oxide donors such as sodium nitroprusside (SNP). ...
Universal and selective interventions to promote good mental health in young people: Systematic review and meta-analysis
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
Promotion of good mental health in young people is important. Our aim was to evaluate the consistency and magnitude of the efficacy of universal/selective interventions to promote good mental health. A systematic ...
Sephin1 Protects Neurons against Excitotoxicity Independently of the Integrated Stress Response
(MDPI, 2020-08-24)
Sephin1 is a derivative of guanabenz that inhibits the dephosphorylation of the eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2α) and therefore may enhance the integrated stress response (ISR), an adaptive mechanism against ...
Brain White Matter Correlates of Creativity in Schizophrenia: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study
(Frontiers Media, 2020-06)
The relationship between creativity and psychopathology has been a controversial research topic for decades. Specifically, it has been shown that people with schizophrenia have an impairment in creative performance. However, ...
Expression and Function of GABA Receptors in Myelinating Cells
(Frontiers Media, 2020-08-21)
Myelin facilitates the fast transmission of nerve impulses and provides metabolic support to axons. Differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) and Schwann cell (SC) precursors is critical for myelination ...

Objective: To characterize the progression of brain structural abnormalities in adults with pediatric and adult/late onset DM1, as well as to examine the potential predictive markers of such progression.
Methods: 21 DM1 ...
Microglial Phagocytosis Dysfunction in the Dentate Gyrus is Related to Local Neuronal Activity in a Genetic Model of Epilepsy
(Wiley, 2020-11)
Objective Microglial phagocytosis of apoptotic cells is an essential component of the brain regenerative response during neurodegeneration. Whereas it is very efficient in physiological conditions, it is impaired in mouse ...
