Adolescents with low-increasing or high-increasing social media use trajectories had lower performance in reading recognition, picture memory, vocabulary, and composite cognitive scores at age 13, compared with peers with no or very low use. https://ja.ma/4o5tpHA

Could studying the link between psychosis and the immune system lead to much-needed, better treatments? That’s what we’re funding Dr Katharina Schmack from The Francis Crick Institute to investigate. Understanding this link, says Katharina, could lead to interventions that “target the underlying cause of psychosis, rather than just treating the symptoms”.

Can brain oscillations help tailor psychiatric treatments? 🧠💡 In this doctoral research, our Enobio (https://lnkd.in/dFS8ugFy) was used to record EEG in studies on depression, bipolar disorder, and addiction. The thesis investigates how disrupted neural oscillations—particularly in beta and gamma bands—may serve as biomarkers in psychiatry. EEG data recorded with Enobio revealed impaired plasticity in depression, neurophysiological responses to ketamine in bipolar disorder, and dopamine-related disruptions in addiction. These EEG-based markers offer clinical insights into emotional regulation, reward processing, and treatment responsiveness. How close are we to using EEG to personalize mental health care? 🧠📉 Congratulations to PhD candidate Alessandra Cinti, supervised by Prof. @Simone Rossi and coordinated by Prof.ssa Maria Pia Amato, for this outstanding contribution to neuroscience with our technology!

Does genetic testing help in #depression? New paper finds a small benefit, but misses a critical flaw (unblinded studies positive; blinded not, suggesting a big placebo effect). https://lnkd.in/emi8aetb But it found two interesting pearls: 1. Tests = more effective in Asian countries Why? Rates of slow metabolism are higher. 2. Testing many genes worked as well as testing a few We detail the few tests that matter in our 2021 book: https://amzn.to/47hVTZr #psychiatry #pmhnp

When the brain is in crisis, neurons have a backup plan. New research reveals that neurons can tap into hidden sugar reserves during moments of extreme stress — like those triggered by stroke or epilepsy. The discovery could help shape future treatments for people living with neurological conditions: bit.ly/4f14y4n #Yale

🆕A study led by #CLÍNIC-#IDIBAPS concludes that antidepressants may be safe in bipolar disorder A systematic review and network meta-analysis published in #eClinicalMedicine provides new evidence on the safety of antidepressants in the acute treatment of bipolar depression. 🔹 Most antidepressants, when used appropriately and often combined with mood stabilizers, do not significantly increase the risk of switching from depression to mania. 🔹 The study analyzed all randomized clinical trials to date, offering the most comprehensive synthesis of evidence on this long-debated issue. 🔹 These findings expand therapeutic options for patients and provide clinicians with a stronger basis for safe, personalized treatment decisions. 👉https://lnkd.in/dJHJP-yu Hospital Clínic de Barcelona Joaquim Radua Michele De Prisco Vincenzo Oliva Eduard Vieta
