Rhythmic auditory stimulation incorporated in training improved movements in individuals with psychotic-like experiences
This study used motion analysis to measure movement performance at pretest and posttest. Eighteen age- and gender-matched individuals without PLEs were also recruited to provide data of intact movements. Results showed that RAS may reduce severity of movement slowing and irregular muscle contraction in individuals with PLEs. This pilot study is one of the pioneering studies validating effectiveness of early intervention programs tackling movement abnormalities, which are initial impairments in the psychosis continuum, in individuals with PLEs.

The neurocognitive disorder cohort RIFADE: Aims, methods, first results showing cognitive improvement in a subgroup
ConclusionThe German NCD cohort RIFADE comprises patients with all clinical stages of NCD. A considerable subgroup improved in clinical stage. Further analysis is needed to answer the question of whether modulation of multiple risk factors provides a favourable effect on cognitive outcome in NCD.

(R)-ketamine attenuates neurodevelopmental disease-related phenotypes in a mouse model of maternal immune activation
Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci. 2023 May 30. doi: 10.1007/s00406-023-01629-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInfections during pregnancy are associated with an increased risk of neuropsychiatric disorders with developmental etiologies, such as schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Studies have shown that the animal model of maternal immune activation (MIA) reproduces a wide range of phenotypes relevant to the study of neurodevelopmental disorders. Emerging evidence shows that (R)-ketamine attenuates behavioral, cellular, and molecular changes observed in animal models of neuropsychiatric disorders. Here, we ...

Enhanced interhemispheric resting-state functional connectivity of the visual network is an early treatment response of paroxetine in patients with panic disorder
This study aimed to detect alterations in interhemispheric interactions in patients with panic disorder (PD), determine whether such alterations could serve as biomarkers for the diagnosis and prediction of therapeutic outcomes, and map dynamic changes in interhemispheric interactions in patients with PD after treatment. Fifty-four patients with PD and 54 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled in this study. All participants underwent clinical assessment and a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scan at (i) baseline and (ii) after paroxetine treatment for 4 weeks. A voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC...

Studies have shown that the animal model of maternal immune activation (MIA) reproduces a wide range of phenotypes relevant to the study of neurodevelopmental disorders. Emerging evidence shows that (R)-ketamine attenuates behavioral, cellular, and molecular changes observed in animal models of neuropsychiatric disorders. Here, we investigate whether (R)-ketamine administration during adolescence attenuates some of the phenotypes re...

What distinguishes patients with mass social media-induced illness presenting with Tourette-like behavior from those with Tourette syndrome? Results of a prospective cohort study
Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci. 2023 May 20. doi: 10.1007/s00406-023-01603-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSince 2019, a global increase in patients presenting with functional Tourette-like behaviors (FTB) has been observed. This has been related to the exposure of tic-related content in social media, although other factors seem to further fuel this phenomenon. Recently, we, therefore, proposed the term mass social media-induced illness (MSMI) as, in our opinion, this phenomenon constitutes a new type of mass sociogenic illness (MSI) that is in contrast to all recent outbreaks spread solely via social media. In accorda...
