Role of Neuroinflammation in Autism Spectrum Disorder and the Emergence of Brain Histaminergic System. Lessons Also for BPSD

TL;DR: The hypothesis that central histamine (HA) plays a significant role in the regulation of neuroinflammatory processes of microglia functions in numerous neuropsychiatric diseases, i.e., ASD, AD, SCH, Schizophrenia, epilepsy, and BPSD is examined.

Common Taxonomy of Traits and Symptoms: Linking Schizophrenia Symptoms, Schizotypy, and Normal Personality.

TL;DR: This is the first study to show that symptoms of psychosis, schizotypy, and normal personality reflect the same underlying dimensions, and underscores the importance of traits to understanding these disorders.

Persistent negative symptoms after first episode schizophrenia: A 2-year follow-up study.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that PNS has specific predictors and effect on the course of illness after first-episode schizophrenia.

Reward anticipation and trait anhedonia: An electrophysiological investigation in subjects with schizophrenia.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that anhedonia and avolition are partially independent constructs in subjects with schizophrenia, and SCZ are unable to integrate the incentive magnitude and reward value of future events in the context of their ongoing task.

The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale

TL;DR: The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BRS) as mentioned in this paper was developed to provide a rapid assessment technique particularly suited to the evaluation of patient change, and it is recommended for use where efficiency, speed, and economy are important considerations.

Negative Symptoms in Schizophrenia: Definition and Reliability

TL;DR: The developed Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms has excellent interrater reliability and the five symptom complexes defined by the scale have good internal consistency, which indicates that the conceptual organization of the scale is also cohesive.
