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...

Abnormalities in visual cognition and associated impaired interactions between visual and attentional networks in schizophrenia and brief psychotic disorder

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compared the visual cognitive dysfunction and its associated brain networks in brief psychotic disorder and schizophrenia, and found that visual cognitive impairments were worse in schizophrenia, underpinned by abnormal interactions between higher-order attentional and lower-order visual processing networks.

Dissociation of Cognitive Effort–Based Decision Making and Its Associations With Symptoms, Cognition, and Everyday Life Function Across Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, and Depression

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined cognitive effort-cost decision making in relation to clinician and self-reported motivation symptoms, working memory and cognitive control performance, and life function measured by ecological momentary assessment and passive sensing.

Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders

TL;DR: Schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders are defined by abnormalities in one or more of the following five domains: delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking (speech), grossly disorganized or abnormal motor behavior (including catatonia), and negative symptoms as discussed by the authors .

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.

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

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.
