Cerebral blood flow in striatal regions is associated with apathy in patients with schizophrenia

TL;DR: The main finding was a specific association between increased striatal rCBF and the negative symptom dimension of apathy, which further support the separate assessment of apathetic and diminished expression when investigating the neural basis of negative symptoms.

The neural correlates of apathy in schizophrenia: An exploratory investigation.

TL;DR: The present findings set the stage for future larger‐scale studies confirming the structural and neurochemical substrates of apathy in schizophrenia, and demonstrate that these GM associations are distinct from those with Affective Flattening.

Prediction of motivational impairment: 12-month follow-up of the randomized-controlled trial on extended early intervention for first-episode psychosis

TL;DR: A potentially critical therapeutic role of an extended specialized EI on alleviating motivational impairment in FEP patients is indicated, and Hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that Extended EI and lower levels of DE independently predicted better outcome on 12-month amotivation.

Trends in the Study of Motivation in Schizophrenia: A Bibliometric Analysis of Six Decades of Research (1956-2017).

TL;DR: A significant growth trend in literature production, especially since the 2000s, with reward as the main term studied is revealed, with questionnaires identified as the preferred instrument to assess motivation in patients with schizophrenia.

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.
