Numerous brain imaging studies have reported white matter alterations in schizophrenia, but the lipidome analysis of the corresponding tissue remains incomplete. In this study, we investigated the lipidome composition of six subcortical white matter regions corresponding to major axonal tracks in both control subjects and schizophrenia patients. All six regions exhibited a consistent pattern of quantitative lipidome alterations in schizophrenia, involving myelin-forming and mitochondria associated lipid classes.

Data from ν_{μ}(ν[over ¯]_{μ})→ν_{μ}(ν[over ¯]_{μ}) and ν_{μ}(ν[over ¯]_{μ})→ν_{e}(ν[over ¯]_{e}) oscillation channels are used to measure the effect of the NSI parameters ϵ_{eμ} and ϵ_{eτ}. With 90% CL the magnitudes of the NSI couplings are constrained to be |ϵ_{eμ}|≲0.

Methods: This study included 4257 adults, with long-term schizophrenia (control - 8955 individuals) who were assessed for schizophrenia with potentially severe outcomes based on following criteria: disability in functional and/or physical domains before the age of 40; severe negative symptoms (present in infancy or shortly after onset); a continuous course of the disease.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the potential role of lipids as biomarkers for diagnosing anxiety and depression, which are major contributors to mental health issues and disability, despite the lack of existing biochemical tests for these conditions.
- - Researchers analyzed blood plasma lipid levels in a group of 604 urban individuals and compared them to 32 patients with clinical depression, finding significant correlations between lipid levels and the severity of depressive symptoms.
- - The findings suggest that lipid alterations seen in clinically depressed patients can also be observed in the general population, leading to the creation of a predictive model with high accuracy for identifying individuals with severe depressive symptoms.
Background: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can occur after a traumatic event. PTSD is characterized by nightmares, flashbacks and avoidance of stressors. It currently affects 2-8% of the population, with military personnel particularly susceptible.
