TL;DR: It is suggested that clozapine therapy significantly reduces suicidal behavior in patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder at high risk for suicide, and use of clozAPine in this population should lead to a significant reduction in suicidal behavior.

TL;DR: Clozapine was more effective than olanzapine in decreasing the risk of suicidality, regardless of risk factors present, and assessment of these risk factors may aid clinicians in evaluating risk for suicidal behaviors so that appropriate interventions can be made.

TL;DR: The ISST is a reliable and valid instrument for the assessment of current suicidal thinking in patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder by both clinicians and researchers.

TL;DR: Fuentes et al. as mentioned in this paper found that healthy adults and patients with schizophrenia performed a Stroop task in an inhibition of return paradigm and showed a reduction in the Stroop interference when stimuli were presented at inhibited locations, a result that agrees with the inhibitory tagging mechanism hypothesis and replicates previous findings.

TL;DR: Results with the short SOA replicated previous findings but, in contrast, the authors did not observe blunted inhibition of return with the long SOA, which may help to reveal what processes involved in visuospatial attention are affected in schizophrenia.
