TL;DR: This review views problems in declarative memory and hippocampal function from the perspective of elevated rates of common medical disorders in schizophrenia, with a focus on insulin insensitivity/diabetes and the likelihood that poor glucose regulation/availability contribute to declaratives memory deficits and hippocampusal abnormalities.

TL;DR: The current study examined the experience of pleasure and emotional expression in college students who demonstrated high and low levels of schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) traits on self-report questionnaires.

TL;DR: The study showed that cumulative declines in daytime vigilance resulted from loss of total sleep time, rather than from specific stages, and underscored the reversibility of SR effects with greater amounts of sleep.

TL;DR: Comparing the coping strategies adopted by subjects with schizotypal personality (SPD) features compared to those without SPD features, the relative effectiveness of their coping was compared, and subjects with SPD features endorsed significantly more emotion-focused strategies in uncontrollable situations.

TL;DR: The results are generally consistent with previous open-label investigations of risperidone administration in subjects with schizotaxia, and provide evidence that some neurocognitive and clinical problems are amenable to remediation in non-psychotic relatives of people with schizophrenia.
