Open AccessPolygenic risk has an impact on the structural plasticity of hippocampal subfields during aerobic exercise combined with cognitive remediation in multi-episode schizophrenia
Preliminary studies suggest that, besides improving cognition, aerobic exercise might increase hippocampal volume in schizophrenia patients; however, results are not consistent. Individual mechanisms of volume...

Open AccessFunctional neuroimaging effects of recently discovered genetic risk loci for schizophrenia and polygenic risk profile in five RDoC subdomains
Recently, 125 loci with genome-wide support for association with schizophrenia were identified. We investigated the impact of these variants and their accumulated genetic risk on brain activation in five neuro...

High loading of polygenic risk in cases with chronic schizophrenia
Genomic risk profile scores (GRPSs) have been shown to predict case–control status of schizophrenia (SCZ), albeit with varying sensitivity and specificity. The extent to which this variability in prediction ac...

Open AccessIdentification and functional characterization of rare SHANK2 variants in schizophrenia
Recent genetic data on schizophrenia (SCZ) have suggested that proteins of the postsynaptic density of excitatory synapses have a role in its etiology. Mutations in the three SHANK genes encoding for postsynaptic...

Open AccessGenome-wide significant association between a ‘negative mood delusions’ dimension in bipolar disorder and genetic variation on chromosome 3q26.1
Research suggests that clinical symptom dimensions may be more useful in delineating the genetics of bipolar disorder (BD) than standard diagnostic models. To date, no study has applied this concept to data fr...
