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...

Cognitive Enhancement in Schizophrenia and Related Disorders

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the evidence for cognitive enhancement therapies and their mode of action, making recommendations for individualized implementation strategies, including computer-based exercises, psychotherapeutic group activities, and pharmacological interventions.

Polygenic pleiotropy and potential causal relationships between educational attainment, neurobiological profile, and positive psychotic symptoms

TL;DR: The results suggest that the globally impaired ERP phenotype may represent some aspects of brain physiology on the path between genetic influences on educational attainment and psychotic symptoms.

Neurocognitive performance as an endophenotype for mood disorder subgroups.

TL;DR: There were few differences in neurocognitive function except enhanced accuracy in specific domains among those with BP-I and MDD, and the differential findings across specific mood disorder subgroups substantiate their heterogeneity in other biologic and endophenotypic domains.

Intrinsic neural activity differences in psychosis biotypes: Findings from the Bipolar-Schizophrenia Network on Intermediate Phenotypes (B-SNIP) consortium

TL;DR: It is hypothesized intrinsic activity is a critical differentiating feature for psychosis Biotypes, and neurobiologically defined psychosis subgroups may facilitate the use of intrinsic activity in translation models aimed at developing effective treatments for psychosis-relevant deviations in neural modulation.

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.
