Childhood adversities characterize the heterogeneity in the brain pattern of individuals during neurodevelopment
CONCLUSION: Adversities (particularly abuse) maximally influence the DMN during neurodevelopment and lead to the failure in the development of a coherent DMN system. While DMN's integrity is preserved in typical development, the age-dependent variability in atypically developing individuals is contrasting. The flexibility of DMN might be a compensatory mechanism to protect an individual in an abusive environment. However, such adaptability might deprive the neural system of the faculties of normal functioning and may incur long-term effects on the psyche.PMID:38509831 | DOI:10.1017/S0033291724000710 (Source: Psychological Medicine)

Do metacognitive therapies for schizophrenia-spectrum disorders work? A meta-analytic investigation
Psychol Med. 2024 Mar 21:1-9. doi: 10.1017/S0033291724000564. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecent reviews and meta-analyses of metacognitive therapy for schizophrenia-spectrum disorder (SSD) have included uncontrolled studies, single-session interventions, and/or analyses limited to a single form of metacognitive therapy. We sought to evaluate the efficacy of metacognitive therapies more broadly based on controlled trials (CT) of sustained treatments. We conducted a pre-registered meta-analysis of controlled trials that investigated the effects of meta-cognitive therapies on primary positive symptom outcomes, and secondar...

A subtype of schizophrenia patients with altered methylation level of genes related to immune cell activity
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, this study demonstrated a subtype of schizophrenia patients across both FES and LTS cohorts, defined by widespread alterations in methylation profile of genes related to immune function and distinguishing clinical features. This finding illustrates the promise of novel treatment strategies targeting immune dysregulation for a subpopulation of schizophrenia patients.PMID:38505948 | DOI:10.1017/S0033291724000667 (Source: Psychological Medicine)

Comprehensive elucidation of resting-state functional connectivity in anorexia nervosa by a multicenter cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: Stronger rsFCs in regions containing mainly DLPFC, and weaker rsFCs in regions containing primarily cerebellum, within temporal lobe, between posterior fusiform cortex and lateral part of visual network, and between ACC and thalamus, may represent categorical diagnostic markers discriminating AN patients from HC.PMID:38500410 | DOI:10.1017/S0033291724000485 (Source: Psychological Medicine)
