TL;DR: The present study provides a robust profile of widespread WM abnormalities in schizophrenia patients worldwide, and is believed to be the first ever large-scale coordinated study of WM microstructural differences in schizophrenia.

TL;DR: This paper performed a two-stage genome-wide association study with 111,326 clinically diagnosed/proxy AD cases and 677,663 controls and found 75 risk loci, of which 42 were new at the time of analysis.

TL;DR: Quarantine induces a rapid increase of BPSD in approximately 60% of patients and stress-related symptoms in two-thirds of caregivers and were associated with increased patients’ neuropsychiatric burden (p<0.0001); health services need to plan a post-pandemic strategy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used T1-weighted magnetic resonance images to determine neurobiologic correlates of group differences in cortical thickness between cases and controls in 6 disorders: attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), bipolar disorder (BD), major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and schizophrenia.

TL;DR: Using an unusually large cohort and a meta-analytical approach, the findings point towards a link between prefrontal thinning and negative symptom severity in schizophrenia.
