TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between differential pharmacotherapy and cognitive functioning across an acute schizophrenic episode and found that improvement in measures of memory storage and retrieval (Wechsler Memory Scale), as well as attentional flexibility (Trailmaking, Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test) were associated with clinical reduction in positive symptoms.

TL;DR: In this article , abnormal midfrontal theta-band (4-8Hz) activities have been proposed as a framework to unify findings of various electroencephalogram (EEG) signatures observed in several forms of psychopathology.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined changes in metabolomic profiles over 12 weeks of antipsychotic treatment to identify metabolites that may associate with AP-induced weight gain, and they also compared baseline metabolomes of participants who gained ≥ 5% baseline body weight to those who gained <5% to identify potential biomarkers of antippsychotic induced weight gain.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used Dynamic Causal Modeling (DCM) to determine whether gaze processing induces aberrant effective connectivity in SZ, and reveal how aberrant connectivity contributes to social dysfunction and symptom severity.

TL;DR: REM sleep measures demonstrated positive and negative correlations with cognition and memory mea~ares, depending on when REM occurred after sleep onset, and whether phasic REM sleep regulation at the beginning of the night plays a compensatory role for neuropsychological dysfunction in schizophrenics.
