TLDR
Robust cognitive deficits are present and familial in schizophrenia and psychotic bipolar disorder and Severity of cognitive impairments across psychotic disorders was consistent with a continuum model, in which more prominent affective features and less enduring psychosis were associated with less cognitive impairment.
Abstract
ObjectiveFamilial neuropsychological deficits are well established in schizophrenia but remain less well characterized in other psychotic disorders. This study from the Bipolar-Schizophrenia Network on Intermediate Phenotypes (B-SNIP) consortium 1) compares cognitive impairment in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder with psychosis, 2) tests a continuum model of cognitive dysfunction in psychotic disorders, 3) reports familiality of cognitive impairments across psychotic disorders, and 4) evaluates cognitive impairment among nonpsychotic relatives with and without cluster A personality traits.MethodParticipants included probands with schizophrenia (N=293), psychotic bipolar disorder (N=227), schizoaffective disorder (manic, N=110; depressed, N=55), their first-degree relatives (N=316, N=259, N=133, and N=64, respectively), and healthy comparison subjects (N=295). All participants completed the Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia (BACS) neuropsychological battery.ResultsCognitive impairments among...

Working Memory in Unaffected Relatives of Patients With Schizophrenia: A Meta-Analysis of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies

TL;DR: The results suggest that the familial risk of schizophrenia is expressed in changes in neural activation in the unaffected relatives in the cortical-subcortical working memory network that includes, but is not restricted to the middle prefrontal cortex.

The genome-wide risk alleles for psychiatric disorders at 3p21.1 show convergent effects on mRNA expression, cognitive function, and mushroom dendritic spine.

TL;DR: Summary data-based Mendelian randomization analyses through combining the statistical data from genome-wide association studies of both schizophrenia and BPD and multiple expression quantitative trait loci datasets of the human brain dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) tissues provide essential insights into the neural mechanisms underlying the chromosome 3p21.1.

The Amygdala in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder: A Synthesis of Structural MRI, Diffusion Tensor Imaging, and Resting-State Functional Connectivity Findings.

TL;DR: Future studies can consider adopting longitudinal approaches with multimodal imaging and more extensive clinical subtyping to probe amygdalar subregional changes and their relationship to the sequelae of psychotic disorders.

Examining cognition across the bipolar/schizophrenia diagnostic spectrum.

TL;DR: Cognitive impairments represent a symptom dimension that cuts across traditional diagnostic boundaries and is consistent with a spectrum of deficits from bipolar disorder to schizoaffective disorder bipolar type, to schizophrenia and schizoAffective disorder depressive type.

Generalized and Specific Neurocognitive Deficits in Psychotic Disorders: Utility for Evaluating Pharmacological Treatment Effects and as Intermediate Phenotypes for Gene Discovery

TL;DR: The available evidence strongly supports that a generalized deficit is present across psychotic disorders that differs in severity more so than form, and the implications of generalized and specific deficits in psychosis for 2 areas of research are considered.

The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) for Schizophrenia

TL;DR: Review of five studies involving the PANSS provided evidence of its criterion-related validity with antecedent, genealogical, and concurrent measures, its predictive validity, its drug sensitivity, and its utility for both typological and dimensional assessment.

A new depression scale designed to be sensitive to change.

TL;DR: The construction of a depression rating scale designed to be particularly sensitive to treatment effects is described, and its capacity to differentiate between responders and non-responders to antidepressant treatment was better than the HRS, indicating greater sensitivity to change.

A rating scale for mania: reliability, validity and sensitivity.

TL;DR: The MRS score correlated highly with an independent global rating, and with scores of two other mania rating scales administered concurrently, and also correlated with the number of days of subsequent stay in hospital.

A sharper Bonferroni procedure for multiple tests of significance

Yosef Hochberg
- 01 Dec 1988 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a simple procedure for multiple tests of significance based on individual p-values is derived, which is sharper than Holm's (1979) sequentially rejective procedure.

Multipoint Quantitative-Trait Linkage Analysis in General Pedigrees

TL;DR: It is shown how variance-component linkage methods can be used in pedigrees of arbitrary size and complexity, and a general framework for multipoint identity-by-descent (IBD) probability calculations is developed.
