The shape of the corpus callosum is different in bipolar disorder.

Objective: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a recurrent chronic disorder characterised by fluctuations in mood and energy disposition. Diseases could lead to degenerative alterations in brain structures such as corpus callosum (CC). Studies demonstrated that abnormalities in CC are associated with BD symptoms.

Difference in Laterality of the Dorsal Striatum in Schizoaffective Disorder.

Background: Recent research has demonstrated that the dorsal striatum is directly associated with the integration of cognitive, sensory-motor, and motivational/emotional data. Disruptions in the corticostriatal circuit have been implicated in the pathophysiology of psychosis. The dorsal striatum was reported to show lateralized pathology in psychotic disorders.

The Prevalence of Bruxism and Associated Factors Among Patients with Schizophrenia in Istanbul, Türkiye: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Schizophrenia is a severe and chronic neuropsychiatric disorder that involves profound impairment of psychopathology in cognition, emotion, perception, and other aspects of behavior. Factors, such as the nature of the disease, length of hospital stay, duration of illness, and side effects of psychotropic drugs, may contribute to poor oral health and the risk of developing bruxism in patients with schizophrenia.

Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of bruxism and associated factors in patients with schizophrenia.

Blood Viscosity and Inflammation in First-Episode and Acute Exacerbations of Schizophrenia: A Case-Control Study with Healthy Controls.

Introduction: Elevated proinflammatory status and alterations in blood flow, both of which are associated with the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, may be linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, such a relationship at different acute stages of schizophrenia has not been evaluated. We aimed to examine whether blood viscosity and systemic inflammatory status varied between first-episode schizophrenia (FES) and acute exacerbations of schizophrenia.

Statistical shape analysis of corpus callosum in delusional disorder.

Neurobiological foundations of delusional disorder (DD) have been studied less with neuroimaging techniques when compared to other psychotic disorders. The present study aimed to delineate the neural substrates of DD by investigating neuroanatomical characteristics of the corpus callosum (CC) with statistical shape analysis (SSA) conducted on magnetic resonance images (MRI). Twenty (female:male=1:1) DSM-5 DD patients and 20 age- and gender-matched healthy individuals were included.
