Emerging 5-HT receptor antagonists for the treatment of Schizophrenia.

TL;DR: These compounds may also have a role in modulating antipsychotic-induced dopamine super-sensitivity and preventing relapse and their utility may also expand outside the spectrum of schizophrenia to encompass Parkinson’s Disease psychosis, major depression, bipolar depression, and dementia-associated apathy.

Large-scale evaluation of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) symptom architecture in schizophrenia.

TL;DR: In this article, a common PANSS factor structure from a large multi-ethnic sample and validate it against a meta-analysis of existing PANSS models was established, and temporal stability of the PANSS model and generalizability to individuals at ultra-high risk (UHR) of psychosis were evaluated.

Blockade of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors facilitates motivated behaviour and rescues a model of antipsychotic-induced amotivation

TL;DR: Data suggest that the M1 mAChR may be a novel target for the pharmacological enhancement of effort exertion and consequent rescue of motivational impairments, and that M4 receptors may inadvertently modulate effort exertions through regulation of general locomotor activity levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical, behavioural and neural validation of the PANSS amotivation factor.

TL;DR: This multi-level validation of the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) confirms that the PANSS clearly allows distinguishing amotivation from diminished expression, as it relates selectively to specific aspects of behaviour and brain function.

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.
Book

Cluster Analysis

TL;DR: This fourth edition of the highly successful Cluster Analysis represents a thorough revision of the third edition and covers new and developing areas such as classification likelihood and neural networks for clustering.

Cluster analysis

TL;DR: Cluster analysis is a multivariate procedure for detecting natural groupings in data that resembles discriminant analysis in one respect—the researcher seeks to classify a set of objects into subgroups although neither the number nor members of the subgroups are known.

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.
