Patients with psychiatric disorders of significant neurodevelopmental origin, such as schizophrenia and autism frequently experience genuine motor abnormalities, such as neurological soft signs (NSS). Previous MRI studies in patients with schizophrenia have shown that NSS are associated with abnormal cortical, thalamic and cerebellar structure and function. So far, however, no neuroimaging study focused on the role of the local gyrification index (LGI) in the pathophysiology of NSS. This study sought to explore the relationship between NSS and folding patterns of the cerebral cortex that are thought to be established during early brain development. In this study, whole brain high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 3 Tesla was used to investigate the LGI in 33 patients with recent-onset schizophrenia. Cortical reconstruction was performed with the Freesurfer image analysis suite. NSS were examined on the Heidelberg Scale and related to LGI. Age, gender, years of education and medication were considered as potential confounding variables. In summary, higher NSS scores were positively associated with morphological changes of LGI predominantly in parietal and occipital areas. Our results confirm the hypothesis of a significant relationship between LGI changes and the NSS expression in schizophrenia. Investigation of LGI may help to explain subtle motor symptoms such as NSS in schizophrenia. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Functional correlates of neurological soft signs in heavy cannabis users

Robert Christian Wolf, Florian Werler, Mike M. Schmitgen, Nadine D. Wolf, Miriam Wittemann, Wolfgang Reith, Dusan Hirjak

Summary: Sensorimotor dysfunction is observed in individuals with cannabis dependence and heavy cannabis use, as indicated by increased neurological soft signs and abnormal intrinsic neural activity. Resting-state functional MRI reveals lower regional homogeneity in certain brain regions and higher regional homogeneity in other brain regions in heavy cannabis users compared with controls. These aberrant neural activities are associated with cannabis use behavior and the execution of complex motor tasks. The study suggests a potential endophenotype in heavy cannabis users that may contribute to the risk of psychosis.

Summary: Kasper et al. found that in Huntington's disease, the functional integrity of the dopamine receptor-rich caudate nucleus plays a crucial role in maintaining network function. Loss of caudate functional integrity leads to motor signs independent of atrophy. This finding may have implications for other neurodegenerative diseases.

Summary: Insight into illness plays a crucial role in the treatment and social integration of patients with schizophrenia. This study aimed to examine the structural and functional differences between patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls, and to investigate the associations between illness insight and these neuroimaging measures. The findings suggest that aberrant structural and functional integrity in neural systems related to cognitive control, memory, and self-reference are closely related to illness insight in schizophrenia.

Late-life depression and frailty-Epidemiological, clinical and neurobiological associations

M. S. Depping, L. Koehler-Ipek, P. Ullrich, K. Hauer, R. C. Wolf

Summary: This narrative review examines the comorbidity of late-life depression and frailty, with a focus on neuroscientific findings. Frailty leads to more chronic depression and poorer efficacy and tolerability of antidepressant medication. Depression and frailty share motivational and psychomotor characteristics, particularly apathy, decreased physical activity, and fatigue.

Summary: This study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to compare the brain activity of excessive smartphone users and non-excessive users, and found that excessive smartphone users had lower connectivity strength in the frontoparietal system. This suggests that excessive smartphone use may be associated with the cognitive control network of the frontoparietal cortex.

N-acetylcysteine ameliorates chemotherapy-induced impaired anxiety and depression-like behaviors by regulating inflammation, oxidative and cholinergic status, and BDNF release

Summary: Mood disorders caused by chemotherapy have become more important as cancer patients' survival increases. This study used methotrexate to induce mood disorders in rats and found that treatment with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can alleviate anxiety and depression-like behaviors, increase antioxidant capacity, reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory response, and regulate brain chemistry. The findings suggest that NAC treatment could be an effective strategy in revising the treatment for individuals suffering from chemotherapy-induced mood disorders.

Self-esteem and cortical thickness correlate with aggression in healthy children: A surface-based analysis

Huimin Wu, Yiqun Guo, Yaoyao Zhang, Le Zhao, Cheng Guo

Summary: Aggression can have serious consequences, but little is known about its personality and neurological origins in children. This study investigated the relationship between self-esteem, aggression, and brain structure in healthy children, and found that self-esteem was negatively associated with aggression. The study also revealed that increased cortical thickness in certain brain areas may be a potential mechanism linking low self-esteem to aggression in children.

Role of serotonin in the lack of sensitization caused by prolonged food deprivation in Aplysia

Xin Deng, I. -Shuo Huang, Kourtlin Williams, Marcy L. Wainwright, Paul Zimba, Riccardo Mozzachiodi

Summary: Food deprivation can lead to neurological dysfunctions, including memory impairment. This study used Aplysia as an animal model to investigate the memory deficits caused by prolonged food deprivation. The results showed that 14 days of food deprivation decreased the level of 5-HT in the hemolymph, which contributed to the lack of sensitization and its cellular correlates. However, exogenous application of 5-HT partially induced sensitization in the food deprived animals.

The effects of a dual orexin receptor antagonist on fear extinction memory and sleep in mice: Implications for exposure therapy

Ihori Kobayashi, Patrick A. Forcelli

Summary: The study found that intervention with the dual orexin receptor antagonist suvorexant did not have the expected effects on extinction memory and sleep. Higher percentages of REM sleep were associated with poorer extinction memory recall and stronger fear responses. Additionally, the fear extinction training protocol used in this study did not lead to complete fear extinction.
