Pharmacological adjuncts and transcranial magnetic stimulation-induced synaptic plasticity: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: Pharmacologically enhanced TMS largely parallels findings from ex vivo preparations. As this area expands and novel targets are tested, adequately powered samples in healthy and clinical populations will inform the mechanisms of TMS-induced plasticity in health and disease.PMID:38359933 | DOI:10.1503/jpn.230090 (Source: Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience)

Reviving: restoring depression-like behaviour through glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor treatment in the medial prefrontal cortex
CONCLUSION: Our findings support a positive effect of exogenous GDNF on synaptic plasticity, mediated by DRD1 signalling in the mPFC, which could facilitate depression remission in Parkinson disease.PMID:38302136 | PMC:PMC10843345 | DOI:10.1503/jpn.230079 (Source: Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience)

Permissive epigenetic regulatory mechanisms at the histone level are enhanced in postmortem dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of individuals with schizophrenia
CONCLUSION: We found global HPTM alterations consistent with an aberrantly permissive epigenome in schizophrenia. Further studies to elucidate the significance of enhanced permissive HPTMs in schizophrenia and its association with the mechanism of action of antipsychotic drugs are encouraged.PMID:38302137 | PMC:PMC10843339 | DOI:10.1503/jpn.230054 (Source: Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience)

Different levels of prepulse inhibition among patients with first-episode schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder
CONCLUSION: The level of prepulse inhibition among patients with first-episode schizophrenia was the lowest, with levels among patients with BD, patients with MDD and healthy controls increasingly higher. The PSS-PPI paradigm was more effective than PSC-PPI to recognize deficits in prepulse inhibition. These results provide a basis for further research on biological indicators that can assist differential diagnoses in psychosis.PMID:38238035 | PMC:PMC10803101 | DOI:10.1503/jpn.230083 (Source: Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience)

State- and trait-related dysfunctions in bipolar disorder across different mood states: a graph theory study
CONCLUSION: Mood-specific whole-brain network metrics could serve as potential biomarkers in BD for transitions between mood states. Moreover, these findings contribute to evidence of trait-related frontolimbic circuit irregularities, shedding light on underlying pathophysiological mechanisms in BD.PMID:38238036 | PMC:PMC10803102 | DOI:10.1503/jpn.230069 (Source: Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience)

Meta-analysis of cortical thickness reduction in adult schizophrenia
CONCLUSION: The meta-analysis suggested robust cortical thickness reduction in the IFG, insula and STG among adult patients with schizophrenia, particularly in those with chronic schizophrenia.

Abnormal interhemispheric functional cooperation in schizophrenia follows the neurotransmitter profiles
CONCLUSION: Regional abnormalities in interhemispheric cooperation may contribute to the clinical symptoms of schizophrenia. These CFH abnormalities may be associated with dysfunction in neurotransmitter systems strongly implicated in schizophrenia.PMID:38123242 | PMC:PMC10743641 | DOI:10.1503/jpn.230037 (Source: Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience)
