The entorhinal cortex and cognitive impairment in schizophrenia: A comprehensive review.

Schizophrenia, a severe mental illness characterized by cognitive impairment and olfactory dysfunction, remains an enigma with its pathological mechanism yet to be fully elucidated. The entorhinal cortex, a pivotal structure involved in numerous neural loop circuits related to olfaction, cognition, and emotion, has garnered significant attention due to its structural and functional abnormalities, which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. This review focuses on the abnormal structural and functional changes in the entorhinal cortex in schizophrenia patients, as evidenced by neuroimaging, cellular biology, and genetic studies.

Correlation of clinical features with hs-CRP in TRD patients.

Correlation of clinical features with hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) was investigated.
