Abstract The synaptic hypothesis of schizophrenia has been highly influential. However, new approaches mean there a step-change in the evidence available, and some tenets earlier versions are not supported by recent findings.

Abstract Schizophrenia is a prototypical network disorder with widespread brain-morphological alterations, yet it remains unclear whether these distributed alterations robustly reflect the underlying layout. We tested large-scale structural in schizophrenia relate to normative and functional connectome architecture, systematically evaluated robustness generalizability of network-level alterations. Leveraging anatomical MRI scans from 2439 adults 2867 healthy controls 26 ENIGMA sites data Human Connectome Project ( n = 207), we against two susceptibility models: (i) hub vulnerability, which examines associations between regional centrality magnitude disease-related alterations; (ii) epicenter mapping, identifies regions whose typical connectivity profile most closely resembles morphological To assess specificity, contextualized influence site, disease stages, individual clinical factors compared that found affective disorders. Our findings show schizophrenia-related cortical thinning spatially associated hubs, suggesting highly interconnected are more vulnerable Predominantly temporo-paralimbic frontal emerged as epicenters profiles linked schizophrenia’s alteration patterns.

Abstract Neuroimaging with MRI has been a frequent component of studies individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for developing psychosis, goals understanding potential brain regions and systems impacted in the CHR state identifying prognostic or predictive biomarkers that can enhance our ability to forecast outcomes. To date, most involving are likely not sufficiently powered generate robust generalizable neuroimaging results. Here, we describe prospective, advanced, modern protocol was implemented complex multi-site, multi-vendor environment, as part large-scale Accelerating Medicines Partnership® Schizophrenia Program (AMP® SCZ), including rationale various choices. This includes T1- T2-weighted structural scans, resting-state fMRI, diffusion-weighted imaging collected two time points, approximately 2 months apart. We also present preliminary variance analyses several measures, such signal- contrast-to-noise ratio (SNR/CNR) spatial smoothness, provide quantitative data on relative percentages participant, site, platform (i.e., scanner model) variance. Site-related is generally small (typically <10%). For SNR/CNR measures from fMRI participant largest (as desired; 40–76%). However, diffusion there substantial platform-related (>55%) due differences hardware capabilities different scanners. Also, smoothness large inherent, difficult control, between vendors their acquisitions reconstructions. These results illustrate some factors will need be considered AMP SCZ data, which cohort date.

Abstract Since more than 3 decades, schizophrenia (SZ) has been regarded as a neurodevelopmental disorder.
