Although these models can predict patient outcomes in specific clinical trials, they fail when applied to different trials, challenging the reliability of AI-driven algorithms in diverse settings. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/ai-personalized-medicine-25502/feed/ 0 https://neurosciencenews.com/depression-schizophrenia-learning-25459/ https://neurosciencenews.com/depression-schizophrenia-learning-25459/#comments Mon, 15 Jan 2024 22:39:51 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=99419 A new study reveals that patients with schizophrenia or depression struggle with optimal information utilization in learning processes. Using EEG and advanced computer modeling, researchers found that these patients place greater emphasis on less important information, leading to suboptimal decision-making. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/depression-schizophrenia-learning-25459/feed/ 1 https://neurosciencenews.com/cat-ownership-schizophrenia-25355/ https://neurosciencenews.com/cat-ownership-schizophrenia-25355/#comments Tue, 12 Dec 2023 18:32:04 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=98956 Researchers systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed research from 1980 to 2023 to investigate the relationship between cat ownership and schizophrenia-related disorders. Out of 1915 studies initially identified, 17 were included in the final analysis.]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/cat-ownership-schizophrenia-25355/feed/ 10 https://neurosciencenews.com/rtms-schizophrenia-memory-25324/ https://neurosciencenews.com/rtms-schizophrenia-memory-25324/#comments Wed, 06 Dec 2023 16:57:16 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=98826 A new study suggests that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve aspects of prospective memory in individuals with schizophrenia. The trial compared 50 schizophrenia patients, split between active and sham rTMS treatments, with 18 healthy controls. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/rtms-schizophrenia-memory-25324/feed/ 1 https://neurosciencenews.com/protein-binding-schizophrenia-25106/ Thu, 26 Oct 2023 19:42:01 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=97848 Researchers have discovered an interaction between two brain proteins, MAP6 and Kv3.1, that affect movement, anxiety, and memory in mice. The connection between these proteins is critical for maintaining these functions. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/thc-teen-schizophrenia-24987/ https://neurosciencenews.com/thc-teen-schizophrenia-24987/#comments Wed, 25 Oct 2023 19:00:32 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=97772 Researchers studied the effects of THC, marijuana's main psychoactive compound, on adolescent mouse brains. The study found THC-induced structural changes in microglia, specialized brain immune cells, possibly aggravating a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/thc-teen-schizophrenia-24987/feed/ 4 https://neurosciencenews.com/schizophrenia-organoid-genetics-24982/ Tue, 24 Oct 2023 21:06:55 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=97749 Researchers leveraged cutting-edge technology to gain insights into schizophrenia's neurodevelopmental origins. The researchers grew brain organoids from patients' skin cells, finding persistent axonal disruptions in those with schizophrenia. In another study, researchers zeroed in on a schizophrenia risk gene, CYFIP1, revealing its potential role in brain immune cells called microglia and their influence on synaptic pruning - a crucial process for brain health.]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/schizophrenia-memory-foraging-24875/ Fri, 20 Oct 2023 20:42:07 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=97710 A new study suggests that the way our minds search for words and concepts in memory may parallel the age-old patterns animals use to hunt for food in their environments. This new insight emerged from a neuroimaging study that analyzed participants' brain activity as they dredged their long-term memories for words related to various concepts. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/schizophrenia-brain-connectivity-24959/ https://neurosciencenews.com/schizophrenia-brain-connectivity-24959/#comments Tue, 17 Oct 2023 22:06:27 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=97628 Researchers have discovered differences in functional brain connectivity in individuals with and without schizophrenia, shedding light on the neural basis of the disorder. The brain’s cortex regulates sensory information, and its disorganization can lead to symptoms like loss of executive control in schizophrenia. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/schizophrenia-brain-connectivity-24959/feed/ 2 https://neurosciencenews.com/neurodevelopment-inflammation-24941/ Thu, 12 Oct 2023 21:16:49 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=97547 Scientists unveiled a potentially transformative link between early childhood inflammation and the subsequent development of neurodevelopmental disorders, through a pioneering study that utilizes single-cell genomics. By examining brain tissues of children who experienced severe inflammation, they uncovered that such inflammation impedes the full maturation of specific neurons in the cerebellum, a crucial brain region for motor control and cognitive functionality. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/ai-schizophrenia-language-24929/ Mon, 09 Oct 2023 20:00:08 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=97487 Scientists utilize AI language models to discern subtle speech patterns in schizophrenia patients, paving a new path in psychiatric assessment. Published research indicates that the AI could predict word choices in control participants more accurately than in those with schizophrenia, possibly linking to how brains formulate 'cognitive maps' or memory relationships. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/schizophrenia-hippocampus-psychosis-23950/ Wed, 20 Sep 2023 17:56:33 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=97136 Researchers charted the brain's response to psychosis, specifically how it spreads, revealing potential therapeutic targets. Their study, which examined 534 individuals across various stages of psychosis, identified the hippocampus as an initial site of change. ]]>
