Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of Anatomical Thalamo-Cortical Connectivity and fMRI Activation in Schizophrenia
Stefano Marenco,Jason L. Stein,Antonina A. Savostyanova,Fabio Sambataro,Hao Yang Tan,Aaron L. Goldman,Beth A. Verchinski,Alan S. Barnett,Dwight Dickinson,Jose A. Apud,Joseph H. Callicott,Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg,Daniel R. Weinberger +12 more
TL;DR: Thalamocortical connectivity to the LPFC is altered in schizophrenia with functional consequences on working memory processing in LPFC, and the correlation with BOLD activation was accentuated in patients as compared with controls in the ventral LPFC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reproducibility of prefrontal γ-aminobutyric acid measurements with J-edited spectroscopy
Matthew Geramita,Jan Willem van der Veen,Alan S. Barnett,Antonina A. Savostyanova,Jun Shen,Daniel R. Weinberger,Stefano Marenco +6 more
TL;DR: This study validates a reproducible method for the quantification of brain metabolites, and provides information on gray/white matter differences that may be important in the interpretation of results in clinical populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic modulation of GABA levels in the anterior cingulate cortex by GAD1 and COMT
Stefano Marenco,Antonina A. Savostyanova,Jan Willem van der Veen,Matthew Geramita,Alexa Stern,Alan S. Barnett,Bhaskar Kolachana,Eugenia Radulescu,Fengyu Zhang,Joseph H. Callicott,Richard E. Straub,Jun Shen,Daniel R. Weinberger +12 more
TL;DR: The results support the importance of genetic variation in GAD1 and COMT in regulating prefrontal cortical GABA function, and the directionality of the effects is inconsistent with earlier evidence of decreased GABA activity in schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of the Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Val66Met Polymorphism on Levels of Hippocampal N-Acetyl-Aspartate Assessed by Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging at 3 Tesla
Alexa Stern,Antonina A. Savostyanova,Aaron L. Goldman,Alan S. Barnett,Jan Willem van der Veen,Joseph H. Callicott,Venkata S. Mattay,Daniel R. Weinberger,Stefano Marenco +8 more
TL;DR: The association between the met-BDNF variant and reduced levels of hippocampal NAA found with a similar technique at 1.5T adds to the evidence that the BDNF val/met genotype affects hippocampal biology with implications for a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders.
