Little is known about subjective pleasure experience in recent-onset schizophrenia, and its relationship with neurocognitive functions. Twenty-seven recent-onset schizophrenia people and 26 controls completed the TEPS and neuropsychological tests. The results showed that schizophrenia people self-reported less anticipatory pleasure than controls. Semantic verbal fluency was apparently correlated with anticipatory pleasure.

Understanding the neurobiological underpinnings of weight gain could reduce excess mortality and improve long-term trajectories of psychiatric disorders. We used support-vector machines and whole-brain voxel-wise grey matter volume to generate and validate a BMI predictor in healthy individuals (N = 1504) and applied it to individuals with schizophrenia (SCZ,N = 146), clinical high-risk states for psychosis (CHR,N = 213) and recent-onset depression (ROD,N = 200). We computed BMIgap (BMI-BMI), interrogated its brain-level overlaps with SCZ and explored whether BMIgap predicted weight gain at 1- and 2-year follow-up.

Associations between mental disorders and antibody response might vary by specific disorders, depend on the long-term course of the illness and relate to psychotropic treatment.
Methods: The association between mental illness diagnoses (mood affective disorders, anxiety disorders, other) over ten years and psychotropic drug prescription based on electronic health records with antibody levels (IgG and IgA) post COVID-19 vaccination was assessed in 939 vaccinated adults from Catalonia, Spain.
The involvement of the cerebellar vermis across the psychotic-affective spectrum in enriched samples of recent-onset schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder.

Background: The cerebellar vermis is implicated in cognition and emotion, two key components of the psychotic-affective spectrum that includes schizophrenia (SCZ), bipolar disorder (BD), and major depressive disorder (MDD).
Methods: Volumes [N = 391; 97 SCZ, 78 BD, 103 MDD, and 113 healthy controls (HC)] and seed-to-whole brain functional connectivity (FC) [N = 136; 33 SCZ, 23 BD, 51 MDD, and 29 HC] of total vermis and its subregions, V1 (anterior), V2 (posterior superior), and V3 (posterior inferior), were examined across SCZ, BD, MDD, and HC in samples enriched for first episode individuals. The relationship between vermis volumes and FC and cognitive measures were explored.
Statistical implication analysis: a novel approach to understand the reciprocal relationships between outcomes in early psychosis.

Background: Patients can respond differently to intervention in the early phase of psychosis. Diverse symptomatic and functional outcomes can be distinguished and achieving one outcome may mean achieving another, but not necessarily the other way round, which is difficult to disentangle with cross-sectional data. The present study's goal was to evaluate implicative relationships between diverse functional outcomes to better understand their reciprocal dependencies in a cross-sectional design, by using statistical implication analysis (SIA).

Importance: Studies using human postmortem tissue and imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) support a low hippocampal availability of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR) in psychotic conditions, particularly in schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder (nonaffective psychosis). If validated further, the finding may have implications for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Objective: To test for lower availability of the α7-nAChR in the hippocampus of individuals with recent-onset psychosis compared with healthy control individuals and its association with lower cognitive performance or higher psychotic symptom burden within recent-onset psychosis.
