Understanding hyperfixation in neurodivergent individuals reveals its cognitive roots and effects on daily life, highlighting both benefits and challenges.
 
 
 Schizophrenia-related hallucinations linked to disrupted motor-sensory signalsSchizophrenia-related hallucinations linked to disrupted motor-sensory signals
 
Researchers identified that impaired corollary discharge (CD) and noisy efference copy (EC) in schizophrenia disrupt self-monitoring, leading to auditory hallucinations. A computational model revealed how these motor-to-sensory dysfunctions contribute to hallucinations.

Researchers investigate chromatin conformational and epigenomic reorganization during the development of the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus.
 
   Liver X receptor beta offers new hope in treating depression and anxietyLiver X receptor beta offers new hope in treating depression and anxiety
 
Liver X receptor beta (LXRβ) shows potential in reducing depression and anxiety by improving neurogenesis, reducing neuroinflammation, and enhancing cognitive and emotional function. More research on LXR agonists could reveal new treatments for mental health disorders.

Researchers at UCLA Health have found that a person's risk of developing psychotic-like experiences may be influenced by both childhood attention problems and their genetic makeup.
 
 Study links schizophrenia to increased risk of sudden cardiac death
 
Study links schizophrenia to increased risk of sudden cardiac deathThe lifetime risk of an unexpected and sudden death from a cardiovascular cause in the absence of pre-existing heart disease-;known as sudden cardiac death-;is more than 4 times higher for people with schizophrenia than it is for the general population, indicates Danish research published online in the journal Heart.
