- 精神病学是一个精神病学.
- 生物标志物 生物标志物
背景情况:
- 来自脑电图 (EEG) 的简单不匹配负性 (MMN) 被研究为精神病的生物标志物.
- 在早期精神疾病中不一致地报告了MMN缺陷,质疑其敏感性.
- 复杂不匹配负面性 (cMMN) 被提出为一种更敏感的听觉皮层功能标志物,用于疾病脆弱性.
研究的目的:
- 研究一种新的双规则cMMN范式在患有早期精神病 (EPP) 的人群中的实用性.
- 探索cMMN作为精神病潜在生物标志物的敏感性.
- 检查cMMN,症状严重程度和EPP中的功能之间的关系.
主要方法:

Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia
46
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia indicate a reduction or absence of typical behaviors and emotional responses found in healthy individuals, while positive symptoms reflect an excess or distortion of normal functioning.
Negative Symptoms
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia manifest as deficits in normal emotional and behavioral functioning, profoundly impacting daily life. Individuals with schizophrenia often display a flat affect, characterized by a near-total absence of emotional expression,...

Mismatch Repair
4.8K
Organisms are capable of detecting and fixing nucleotide mismatches that occur during DNA replication. This sophisticated process requires identifying the new strand and replacing the erroneous bases with correct nucleotides. Mismatch repair is coordinated by many proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

McNemar's Test
189
McNemar's Test is a nonparametric statistical test used to determine if there is a significant difference in proportions between two related groups when the outcome is binary (e.g., yes/no, success/failure). It is beneficial when we have paired data, such as pre-test/post-test designs, where the same subjects are measured under two different conditions. The test is named after the statistician Quinn McNemar, who introduced it in 1947. It is commonly used in situations where subjects are...

Schizophrenia is a complex mental health disorder that can manifest with various positive symptoms, including thought, movement, and behavior disorders. These symptoms significantly disrupt cognitive and motor functions, leading to profound effects on an individual's ability to engage with the world.
