TLDR
This review evaluates three potential neuroimaging biomarkers: hippocampal hyperactivity, gamma-band deficits, and default network abnormalities, which have shown initial promise as biomarkers of biological response in early studies of potential treatment strategies.

GABAergic mechanisms of hippocampal hyperactivity in schizophrenia

TL;DR: The post-mortem and animal studies are consistent with the neuroimaging finding of increased hippocampal activity in schizophrenia, which can explain some of the psychotic symptoms and cognitive deficits, and may guide the development of biomarkers and theDevelopment of new treatments for psychosis.

γ-band abnormalities as markers of autism spectrum disorders.

TL;DR: Although the utility of γ-band metrics as diagnostic biomarkers is currently limited, such changes in autism are also useful as endophenotypes, for evaluating potential neural mechanisms, and for use as surrogate markers of treatment response to interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intrinsic Hippocampal Activity as a Biomarker for Cognition and Symptoms in Schizophrenia

TL;DR: Findings suggest that greater intrinsic hippocampal activity is a characteristic feature of schizophrenia that is broadly associated with cognitive dysfunction, and they support hippocampusal activity as a candidate biomarker for therapeutic development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased hippocampal CA1 cerebral blood volume in schizophrenia.

TL;DR: The results support the emerging hypothesis of increased hippocampal activity as a biomarker of schizophrenia and highlight the importance of subfield-level investigations.

Neuroimaging Biomarkers in Schizophrenia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss a range of mechanistically plausible neuroimaging biomarker candidates, including dopamine hyperactivity, N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor hypofunction, hippocampal hyperactivity and immune dysregulation, dysconnectivity and cortical gray matter volume loss.

A default mode of brain function.

TL;DR: A baseline state of the normal adult human brain in terms of the brain oxygen extraction fraction or OEF is identified, suggesting the existence of an organized, baseline default mode of brain function that is suspended during specific goal-directed behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Brain's Default Network Anatomy, Function, and Relevance to Disease

TL;DR: Past observations are synthesized to provide strong evidence that the default network is a specific, anatomically defined brain system preferentially active when individuals are not focused on the external environment, and for understanding mental disorders including autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease.

Functional connectivity in the resting brain: A network analysis of the default mode hypothesis

TL;DR: This study constitutes, to the knowledge, the first resting-state connectivity analysis of the default mode and provides the most compelling evidence to date for the existence of a cohesive default mode network.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of Gamma Oscillations

TL;DR: The cellular and synaptic mechanisms underlying gamma oscillations are reviewed and empirical questions and controversial conceptual issues are outlined, finding that gamma-band rhythmogenesis is inextricably tied to perisomatic inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cortical inhibitory neurons and schizophrenia

TL;DR: Convergent findings indicate that a deficiency in signalling through the TrkB neurotrophin receptor leads to reduced GABA synthesis in the parvalbumin-containing subpopulation of inhibitory GABA neurons in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of individuals with schizophrenia.
