- 医疗成像医学成像
背景情况:
- 长期COVID与持续的神经症状有关.
- 大脑代谢连接的改变可能是这些症状的基础.
- 了解这些变化对于有效的患者管理至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 通过不同恢复阶段检查SARS-CoV-2幸存者的大脑代谢连接.
- 阐明长期COVID中持续的神经症状背后的机制.

Long-term Depression
2.5K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia
44
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,...
