Neural responses during down-regulation of negative emotion in patients with recently diagnosed bipolar disorder and their unaffected relatives

Hanne Lie Kjaerstad, Julian Macoveanu, Gitte Moos Knudsen, Sophia Frangou, K. Luan Phan, Maj Vinberg, Lars Vedel Kessing, Kamilla Woznica Miskowiak

Summary: This study compared the neural responses during voluntary down-regulation of negative emotions in bipolar disorder patients, their unaffected first-degree relatives, and healthy controls. The results showed hypo-activity in the prefrontal cortex and deficient connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and amygdala in patients and their relatives, indicating impaired emotion regulation. This study highlights the importance of understanding aberrant emotion regulation in bipolar disorder.

Summary: This study aimed to uncover the associations between psychopathology dimensions and brain organization using independent component analysis (ICA) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The results showed that different psychopathology dimensions had distinct brain correlates, highlighting the importance of cortical surface area and global connectivity for psychopathology.

Biopsychosocial exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic and the relative risk of schizophrenia: Interrupted time-series analysis of a nationally representative sample

Yael Travis-Lumer, Arad Kodesh, Yair Goldberg, Abraham Reichenberg, Sophia Frangou, Stephen Z. Levine

Summary: This study analyzed the association between COVID-19 biopsychosocial exposure and incident schizophrenia using an interrupted time-series study design. The results showed a reduced risk of schizophrenia during the pandemic, suggesting that there was no immediate triggering of new onsets. However, once the restrictions are lifted, there could be an increase in incident cases.

Jongsma, Simona Stilo, Caterina La Cascia, Laura Ferraro, Daniele La Barbera, Antonio Lasalvia, Sarah Tosato, Ilaria Tarricone, Elena Bonora, Stephane Jamain, Jean-Paul Selten, Eva Velthorst, Lieuwe de Haan, Pierre-Michel Llorca, Manuel Arrojo, Julio Bobes, Miguel Bernardo, Celso Arango, James Kirkbride, Peter B. Jones, Bart P. Rutten, Alexander Richards, Pak C. Sham, Michael O'Donovan, Jim Van Os, Craig Morgan, Marta Di Forti, Robin M. Murray, Evangelos Vassos

Summary: This study suggests that combining polygenic risk scores (PRS) for severe psychiatric disorders with prediction models for psychosis phenotypes can improve discrimination ability and enhance our understanding of these phenotypes. PRS may have potential usefulness in specific populations such as those at high risk or in the early stages of psychosis.

Attempted suicide rates before and during the COVID-19 pandemic: interrupted time series analysis of a nationally representative sample

Yael Travis-Lumer, Arad Kodesh, Yair Goldberg, Sophia Frangou, Stephen Z. Levine

Summary: This study aims to investigate the association between COVID-19 pandemic exposure and suicide attempt rates. The findings suggest that there is a negative association between the interval exposed to the COVID-19 pandemic and the risk of suicide attempts. However, the projections indicate that the suicide attempt rate may increase 10 months after lifting social mitigation policies.

Summary: This study found possible synergistic effects of childhood adversity experiences and high polygenic risk scores for schizophrenia in the onset of first-episode psychosis. However, larger samples are needed for more precise estimation.

Sex differences in predictors and regional patterns of brain age gap estimates

Summary: The study quantified the difference between chronological age and age predicted by machine learning models applied to neuroimaging data, known as brain-age-gap estimate (brainAGE). Sex differences in brainAGE were observed, with females showing higher L-brainAGE in the cerebellum and brainstem and lower L-brainAGE in the prefrontal cortex and insula compared to males. Associations between G-brainAGE and non-imaging measures differed between sexes, except for poor sleep quality, which was common to both. The most important predictors of higher G-brainAGE were self-identification as non-white in males and systolic blood pressure in females. These findings highlight the importance of sex-specific analyses and machine learning methods in understanding sex-related differences in factors influencing brain aging.

C. Eley, G. Breen

Summary: This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and identifies key risk factors for worsening symptoms. The results show small decreases in depression and anxiety symptoms and increases in PTSD symptoms in prospective analyses. However, retrospective analyses demonstrate significant large increases in depression and anxiety symptoms, with 55% of participants reporting worsening mental health since the beginning of the pandemic. Worsening symptoms are associated with prior mental health diagnoses, female gender, young age, and unemployed/student status.

Summary: This study found that genetic propensity for psychiatric, cognitive, and anthropometric traits, as well as environmental factors, play a role in creating vulnerability for specific psychotic experiences and negative symptoms in mid-adolescence.

Summary: This study classified mood and anxiety disorders in youth aged 9-10 years into three subtypes using multimodal neuroimaging data. These subtypes showed differences in brain development and functioning, and were closely associated with family conflict and social adversity.

Genetic examination of the Mood Disorder Questionnaire and its relationship with bipolar disorder

Summary: The Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) is commonly used for screening bipolar disorder but its validity for genetic studies has not been fully examined. A study compared the MDQ to self-reported bipolar disorder and conducted genome-wide association studies to investigate genetic correlations with bipolar disorder and other traits. The MDQ showed low positive predictive value for self-reported bipolar disorder and no genetic correlations with bipolar disorder were found. The study also suggested that the MDQ may capture symptoms of general distress or psychopathology instead of specifically targeting hypomania/mania in at-risk populations.

Summary: This study aims to explore the relationship between childhood adversity and psychosis, and whether cannabis use acts as a mediator between adversity and psychotic disorders. Data from 881 first-episode psychosis patients and 1231 controls were analyzed, and it was found that the association between household discord and psychosis was partially mediated by the use of cannabis. Children exposed to challenging environments could benefit from psychosocial interventions aimed at preventing cannabis misuse.

Summary: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have the potential to provide biological insights into disease mechanisms and offer clinically useful biomarkers. This review examines the use of quantitative and transdiagnostic phenotypes in GWAS for major psychiatric disorders. The authors discuss themes and recommendations, including issues of sample size, phenotypic reliability, sources of phenotypic information, and the use of biological and behavioral markers. The review also highlights the importance of multi-trait methods and the potential of dimensional and transdiagnostic phenotypes for gene discovery in psychiatric conditions.
