• Clinical correlates of movement disorders in adult Niemann-Pick type C patients measured via a Personal KinetiGraph
  August 9, 2022 by Shaddy El-Masri
  CONCLUSIONS: Utilization of PKG measures demonstrated that bradykinesia is under recognized among NPC patients, and the bradykinetic patients were less likely to report concerns regarding falls. Additionally, the FDS rather than the DKS is sensitive to the abnormal involuntary movements of NPC-reflecting a differing neurobiology of this chorea compared to levodopa-induced dyskinesias. Furthermore, dyskinetic individuals performed better in cognitive assessments of attention which may indicate an…
• Exploring Links Between Psychosis and Frontotemporal Dementia Using Multimodal Machine Learning: Dementia Praecox Revisited
  August 3, 2022 by Nikolaos Koutsouleris
  CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Neurobiological links may exist between bvFTD and psychosis focusing on prefrontal and salience system alterations. Further transdiagnostic investigations are needed to identify shared pathophysiological processes underlying the neuroanatomical interface between the 2 disease spectra.
• Clinical impact of whole-genome sequencing in patients with early-onset dementia
  July 29, 2022 by Aamira J Huq
  BACKGROUND: In the clinical setting, identification of the genetic cause in patients with early-onset dementia (EOD) is challenging due to multiple types of genetic tests required to arrive at a diagnosis. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has the potential to serve as a single diagnostic platform, due to its superior ability to detect common, rare and structural genetic variation.
• Psychiatric manifestations of autoimmune encephalitis
  July 15, 2022 by Hannah Ford
  Autoimmune encephalitis is increasingly recognized as a cause of psychiatric symptoms. A wide spectrum of psychiatric manifestations have been described which may precede, follow or occur independently of neurologic features. Patients typically respond to immunotherapy, however diagnosis is challenging due to phenotypic heterogeneity. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the psychiatric features associated with encephalitis mediated by autoantibodies targeting neuronal…
• Striatal volumes as potential biomarkers in Eating Disorders: A pilot study
  July 15, 2022 by Rosa M Molina-Ruiz
  CONCLUSION: This pilot study suggested that striatal volumes might differentiate AN from BN and EDc at a neurobiological level with implications for treatment strategies. Larger scale studies should be carried out that allow replication of these data.
• Use of olanzapine to treat agitation in traumatic brain injury: a series of n-of-one trials
  July 14, 2022 by Ruby Phyland
  Agitation is common during post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) following traumatic brain injury (TBI) and is associated with risk of harm to patients and caregivers. Antipsychotics are frequently used to manage agitation in early TBI recovery despite limited evidence to support their efficacy, safety and impact upon patient outcomes. The sedating and cognitive side-effects of these agents are theorised to exacerbate confusion during PTA, leading to prolonged PTA duration and increased agitation. This…

• Different Frequency of Heschl's Gyrus Duplication Patterns in Neuropsychiatric Disorders: An MRI Study in Bipolar and Major Depressive Disorders
  June 30, 2022 by Tsutomu Takahashi
  An increased prevalence of duplicated Heschl's gyrus (HG) has been repeatedly demonstrated in various stages of schizophrenia as a potential neurodevelopmental marker, but it remains unknown whether other neuropsychiatric disorders also exhibit this macroscopic brain feature. The present magnetic resonance imaging study aimed to examine the disease specificity of the established finding of altered HG patterns in schizophrenia by examining independent cohorts of bipolar disorder (BD) and major…
