Health News - Schizophrenia

Psychiatric Disorders May Be Linked To Protein Involved In Memory Formation
Researchers have discovered a pathway by which the brain controls a molecule critical to forming long-term memories and connected with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The discovery was made by a team of scientists led by Alexei Morozov, an assistant professor at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute... (Medical News Today)

Why Rename Schizophrenia With "Psychosis Susceptibility Syndrome"?
Renaming "Schizophrenia" is the subject of discussion in a new Forum in the journal Psychological Medicine. Two authors propose a new name "Psychosis Susceptibility Syndrome" and experts comment... (Medical News Today)

In Schizophrenia, Epigenetic Changes Moderate Reality Distortion
A study in Schizophrenia Bulletin is among the first to indicate epigenetic changes related to immune function in schizophrenia. DNA methylation, a process involving the addition of a methyl group to the DNA without changing its sequence, can alter gene expression. Led by Dr... (Medical News Today)

Brain Scans Reveal Internal Conflict During Jung's Word Association Test
Over 100 years ago psychologist Carl Gustav Jung penned his theory of 'complexes' where he explained how unconscious psychological issues can be triggered by people, events, or Jung believed, through word association tests... (Medical News Today)

Epigenetic Changes May Play A Role In Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia, a chronic and devastating disorder characterized by the breakdown of cognition processes and typical emotional and behavioral responses, has been affecting people throughout history. Scientists believe that several genes are associated with an increased risk of schizophrenia but that no single gene causes the disease by itself... (Medical News Today)

Providing Mental Health Care Lowers Arrest Rates, Saves Money
Research from North Carolina State University, the Research Triangle Institute (RTI) and the University of South Florida shows that outpatient treatment of mental illness significantly reduces arrest rates for people with mental health problems and saves taxpayers money... (Medical News Today)

Mature Brain Cells Reprogrammed From Skin Cells Enable Study Of Alzheimer's, Schizophrenia, And Autism
Difficult-to-study diseases such as Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, and autism now can be probed more safely and effectively thanks to an innovative new method for obtaining mature brain cells called neurons from reprogrammed skin cells. According to Gong Chen, the Verne M... (Medical News Today)

Treatment Clues For Schizophrenia Suggested By Neurochemical Traffic Signals
Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have uncovered important clues about a biochemical pathway in the brain that may one day expand treatment options for schizophrenia. The study, published online in the journal Molecular Pharmacology, was led by faculty within the department of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics at BUSM... (Medical News Today)

Ultra High-Risk Patients With Schizophrenia At Long-Term Risk For Psychotic Disorder
JAMA Psychiatry Study Highlights Ultra high-risk (UHR) patients with schizophrenia appear to be at long-term risk for psychotic disorder, with the highest risk during the first two years after entry to a specialist clinic according to a study by Barnaby Nelson, Ph.D., of the University of Melbourne, Australia... (Medical News Today)

Lead Exposure May Trigger Schizophrenia
Mice engineered with a human gene for schizophrenia and exposed to lead during early life exhibited behaviors and structural changes in their brains consistent with schizophrenia... (Medical News Today)

Genome-Wide Analysis Suggests 'No Single Genetic Recipe' For Schizophrenia
Using a novel method of analyzing genetic variations in families, researchers at Johns Hopkins have found that individually harmless genetic variations affecting related biochemical processes may team up to increase the risk of schizophrenia... (Medical News Today)

Schizophrenics To Benefit From Study Of Normal People Who Hear Voices
Researchers from the Bergen fMRI Group at the University of Bergen (UiB) are working on how to help schizophrenics, who hear voices. The way they do this is by studying people who also hear voices, but who do not suffer from a mental illness. For a five-year period, the group is studying the brain processes causing people to hear voices... (Medical News Today)

Networks Of Neurons Identified In The Brain That Are Disrupted In Psychiatric Disease
Studying the networks of connections in the brains of people affected by schizophrenia, bipolar disease or depression has allowed Dr. Peter Williamson, from Western University, to gain a better understanding of the biological basis of these important diseases. Dr... (Medical News Today)

Schizophrenia-Like Abnormalities Reversed In Mice By Taming Suspect Gene
Scientists have reversed behavioral and brain abnormalities in adult mice that resemble some features of schizophrenia by restoring normal expression to a suspect gene that is over-expressed in humans with the illness... (Medical News Today)

Researchers Eliminate Schizophrenia Symptoms In An Animal Model
Overexpression of a gene associated with schizophrenia causes classic symptoms of the disorder that are reversed when gene expression returns to normal, scientists report. They genetically engineered mice so they could turn up levels of neuregulin-1 to mimic high levels found in some patients then return levels to normal, said Dr... (Medical News Today)

Why Old Schizophrenia Medicine Works On Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
In 2008 researchers from the University of Southern Denmark showed that the drug thioridazine, which has previously been used to treat schizophrenia, is also a powerful weapon against antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as staphylococci (Staphylococcus aureus)... (Medical News Today)

Association Between Genetic Risk For Schizophrenia And Reduced IQ
The relationship between the heritable risk for schizophrenia and low intelligence (IQ) has not been clear. Schizophrenia is commonly associated with cognitive impairments that may cause functional disability. There are clues that reduced IQ may be linked to the risk for developing schizophrenia. For example, reduced cognitive ability may precede the onset of schizophrenia symptoms... (Medical News Today)

Model Cell System Offers Insights Into Epilepsy, Schizophrenia, Other Neuropsych Disorders
Medical researchers have manipulated human stem cells into producing types of brain cells known to play important roles in neurodevelopmental disorders such as epilepsy, schizophrenia and autism... (Medical News Today)

Neurons In The Nose Could Be The Key To Early, Fast, And Accurate Diagnosis Of Schizophrenia
A debilitating mental illness, schizophrenia can be difficult to diagnose. Because physiological evidence confirming the disease can only be gathered from the brain during an autopsy, mental health professionals have had to rely on a battery of psychological evaluations to diagnose their patients. Now, Dr. Noam Shomron and Prof... (Medical News Today)

Schizophrenia May Be Diagnosed By Testing Nerve Cells From The Nose
Collecting neurons from the nose could be a fast way to test for schizophrenia, a debilitating mental illness that is often difficult to diagnose. This was the finding of a new study led by researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) in Israel... (Medical News Today)

The Dual Role Of Testosterone In Schizophrenia
Researchers from Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) have presented new results about the role of testosterone in schizophrenia at the International Congress on Schizophrenia Research being held in Orlando, Florida. They have found that, on the one hand, testosterone could be the trigger for the onset of schizophrenia... (Medical News Today)

Early Differentiation Of Higher Brain Structures Affected By Competing Pathways
Sand-dwelling and rock-dwelling cichlids living in East Africa's Lake Malawi share a nearly identical genome, but have very different personalities. The territorial rock-dwellers live in communities where social interactions are important, while the sand-dwellers are itinerant and less aggressive... (Medical News Today)

New Technologies Speed Health Care Delivery, Reduce Costs, Pioneer New Therapies
