Major types of psychotic disorders include schizophrenia (SCZ), bipolar disorder (BP) and schizoaffective disorder (SZA). These disorders have profound and overlapping symptoms with marked cognitive deficits, and their diagnosis relies on symptom clusters. The treatments for psychosis are usually focused on positive symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations. Although cognitive impairments underlie both positive and negative symptoms, functional brain imaging biomarkers that can reliably predict a patient's cognitive deficits are still lacking. Therefore, this project used functional MRI to explore the feasibility of using functional connectivity (FC) to predict cognitive performance.
A total of 207 subjects (BP: 79, SZ/SZA: 48, …
The Genomics Of Autism-Related Genes Il1rapl1 And Il1rapl2: Insights Into Their Cortical Distribution, Cell-Type Specificity, And Developmental Trajectories, Jacob Weaver
MUSC Theses and Dissertations
Neuropsychiatric disorders have a significant impact on modern society. These disorders affect a large percentage of the population: schizophrenia has a world-wide prevalence of 1% and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) affects 1 in 59 school-aged children in the US. There is substantial evidence that most neuropsychiatric disorders have a genetic component. Thus, with the advent of high throughput sequencing much effort has gone into identifying genetic variants associated with these disorders. The emerging picture from these studies is a complex one where hundreds of genes with small effects interact with a varied landscape of common variants to result in disease. …
