Journal ArticleDOI
Constructing the Immune Signature of Schizophrenia for Clinical Use and Research; An Integrative Review Translating Descriptives Into Diagnostics.
TL;DR: A strategy to construct an immune signature that may be helpful in selecting and monitoring participants in studies with immune modulating drugs and also applicable in regular clinical work is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of an extra X chromosome on language lateralization: An fMRI study with Klinefelter men (47,XXY)
Sophie van Rijn,Sophie van Rijn,André Aleman,Hanna Swaab,Hanna Swaab,Matthijs Vink,Iris E. C. Sommer,René S. Kahn +7 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest the X chromosome may be involved in hemispheric specialization for language, which may have important consequences for mental functioning, as it was associated with disorganization of thought and language as seen in the schizophrenia spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI
EEG-directed connectivity from posterior brain regions is decreased in dementia with Lewy bodies: a comparison with Alzheimer's disease and controls
Meenakshi Dauwan,Meenakshi Dauwan,Edwin van Dellen,Lotte van Boxtel,Elisabeth C.W. van Straaten,Hanneke de Waal,Afina W. Lemstra,Alida A. Gouw,Wiesje M. van der Flier,Philip Scheltens,Iris E. C. Sommer,Cornelis J. Stam +11 more
TL;DR: It is found that the common posterior-to-anterior pattern of directed connectivity in controls is disturbed in DLB patients in the alpha band, and in AD patients inThe beta band.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anomalies in language as a biomarker for schizophrenia.
TL;DR: Current advances in evaluating the use of language as a diagnostic or prognostic tool in schizophrenia are reviewed, suggesting an important role for language analyses in the diagnosis and prognosis of schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of cross-sex hormones on cerebral activation during language and mental rotation: An fMRI study in transsexuals
Iris E. C. Sommer,Peggy T. Cohen-Kettenis,T. van Raalten,A.J. vd Veer,Lenny Ramsey,Louis Gooren,René S. Kahn,Nick F. Ramsey +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that sex steroids may influence cerebral activation, but lateralization remains stable, while testosterone levels correlated to total activation during mental rotation remains stable.
