概括
不服用抗精神病药物的精神分裂症 (SZ) 患者表现出前额叶皮质 (PFC) 血流量升高,但海马体血流量减少,与服药患者不同. 这种PFC过度活跃可能表明原发性疾病影响,可能作为精神病生物标志物.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 精神病学是一个精神病学.
- 医疗成像医学成像
背景情况:
- 精神分裂症 (SZ) 生物标志物研究通常使用药物样本,使初级疾病影响和药物影响之间的区别变得复杂.
- 了解SZ的神经生物学需要区分疾病特异性变化和由精神药物诱导的变化.
研究的目的:
- 调查无抗精神病药物 (SZ-OFF) 和抗精神病药物 (SZ-ON) 治疗的精神分裂症患者,他们的亲属和健康对照者的区域脑血流 (CBF) 差异.
- 为了确定初级精神分裂症病理与药物效应之间潜在的基于大脑的生物标志物.
主要方法:
- 使用3Tesla伪连续动脉旋转标记 (pCASL) 来测量区域CBF.
- 在海马体及其皮质投影网络中检查了CBF.
- 包括精神分裂症试验对象 (SZ-OFF,SZ-ON),一级亲属 (REL-P,REL-NP) 和健康对照 (HC).
主要成果:
- 与SZ-ON患者相比,SZ-OFF患者在左中环膜和腹中/后侧前额皮质 (PFC) 中表现出高的CBF.
- 与健康对照人群相比,SZ-OFF患者在左前海马中显示CBF减少.
- 有精神病史的亲属 (REL-P) 显示右腹侧PFC CBF升高,类似于SZ-OFF患者,而没有精神病的亲属 (REL-NP) 与对照人群相比显示右PFC CBF降低.
结论:
- 区域CBF模式可以区分原发性精神分裂病理 (PFC升高,SZ-OFF中的海马CBF降低) 和抗精神病作用 (SZ-ON中的CBF正常化).
- 在SZ-OFF和REL-P中,PFC活性升高 (超正面性) 可能代表一个特定的"精神病制造者".
- 对药物治疗和未药物治疗个体的海马-PFC相互作用的进一步研究可能会导致针对精神分裂症的有针对性的干预措施.

Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder whose origins are rooted in complex genetic components. Despite our burgeoning understanding, the pathophysiology of this disorder remains incompletely deciphered.
Researchers have identified genetic factors that increase susceptibility to schizophrenia, underscoring the intricate interplay between genetics and environment in disease development. At the core of schizophrenia's pathophysiology is excessive dopaminergic neurotransmission within...

01:28Psychosis and Antipsychotic Drugs: Overview
788
The term "psychosis" refers to a spectrum of mental disorders characterized by abnormal thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors. It can manifest as mood disorders, dementia, delirium with psychotic features, substance-induced psychosis with psychotic features, brief psychotic disorder, delusional disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophrenia. Among all these disorders, schizophrenia is the most common psychotic disorder, affecting 1% of the worldwide population. Psychotic...

01:29Biological Causes of Schizophrenia
472
Schizophrenia, a severe psychiatric disorder, arises from a complex interplay of biological factors, including genetic predisposition, structural brain abnormalities, neurotransmitter dysregulation, and developmental irregularities. These factors collectively contribute to the onset and progression of the disorder, which typically manifests in late adolescence or early adulthood.

01:26Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy
453
Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.

01:30Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia
431
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,...
