TL;DR: Progressive changes were more evident in patients with schizophrenia than those with bipolar disorder and these changes in specific brain volumes after onset of psychotic symptoms may be related to markers of poorer prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Yasser Alemán-Gómez,Joost Janssen,Hugo G. Schnack,Evan Balaban,Laura Pina-Camacho,Fidel Alfaro-Almagro,Josefina Castro-Fornieles,Soraya Otero,Immaculada Baeza,Dolores Moreno,Núria Bargalló,Mara Parellada,Celso Arango,Manuel Desco +13 more
TL;DR: It is found that the cortical surface flattens during adolescence, and was strongest in the frontal and occipital cortices, in which significant sulcal widening and decreased sulcal depth co-occurred.
Journal ArticleDOI

Juan Antonio Mico,M.O. Rojas-Corrales,Juan Gibert-Rahola,Mara Parellada,Dolores Moreno,David Fraguas,Montserrat Graell,Javier Gil,Jon Irazusta,Josefina Castro-Fornieles,Cesar Soutullo,Celso Arango,Soraya Otero,Ana Navarro,Inmaculada Baeza,Mónica Martínez-Cengotitabengoa,Ana González-Pinto +16 more
TL;DR: This study shows a decrease in the antioxidant defense system in early onset first episode psychotic patients, and glutathione deficit seems to be implicated in psychosis, and may be an important indirect biomarker of oxidative stress in early-onset schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mara Parellada,Leticia Boada,David Fraguas,Santiago Reig,Josefina Castro-Fornieles,Dolores Moreno,Ana González-Pinto,Soraya Otero,Marta Rapado-Castro,Montserrat Graell,Inmaculada Baeza,Celso Arango +11 more
TL;DR: Insight is a complex phenomenon that depends both on severity of psychopathology and also on disease and subject characteristics, such as past adjustment, IQ, DUP, cognitive functioning, frontal and parietal GM volumes, and age, gender, and ethnicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The child and adolescent first-episode psychosis study (CAFEPS): design and baseline results.
Josefina Castro-Fornieles,Mara Parellada,Ana González-Pinto,Dolores Moreno,Montserrat Graell,Immaculada Baeza,Soraya Otero,Cesar Soutullo,Benedicto Crespo-Facorro,Ana Ruiz-Sancho,Manuel Desco,Olga Rojas-Corrales,Ana Patiño,Eugenio Carrasco-Marín,Celso Arango +14 more
