The acute effects of cannabidiol on the neural correlates of reward anticipation and feedback in healthy volunteers

TL;DR: The monetary incentive delay task elicited expected brain activity during reward anticipation and feedback, including in the insula, caudate, nucleus accumbens, anterior cingulate and orbitofrontal cortex, but across the whole brain, there was no evidence that cannabidiol altered reward-related brain activity.

Trait emotional experience in individuals with schizophrenia and youth at clinical high risk for psychosis

TL;DR: Both clinical groups showed some evidence of reduced trait positive affect and elevated trait negative affect, suggesting that increasing traitpositive affect and reducing traitnegative affect is an important treatment goal across both populations.

Measuring Anhedonia in Schizophrenia-Spectrum Disorders: A Selective Update

TL;DR: The main objective of as discussed by the authors was to carry out a selective review of the main measuring instruments used for the assessment of anhedonia and hedonic capacity, including interviews and self-report measures that are either new or of special relevance to research and clinical assessment of schizotypy, schizophrenia, and schizophrenia-spectrum disorders.

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.
