Associations between influenza infection and psychosis have been reported since the
eighteenth century, with acute “psychoses of influenza” documented during multiple …

Aim Over the past several decades, there has been a growing research interest in the role of
inflammation in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. This review aims to summarize evidence …

Most risk variants for brain disorders identified by genome-wide association studies reside in
the noncoding genome, which makes deciphering biological mechanisms difficult. A …

By meta-analyzing the whole-exomes of 24,248 cases and 97,322 controls, we implicate
ultra-rare coding variants (URVs) in ten genes as conferring substantial risk for …

Background Mood disorders (including major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder)
affect 10% to 20% of the population. They range from brief, mild episodes to severe …

Gene expression levels vary across developmental stage, cell type, and region in the brain.
Genomic variants also contribute to the variation in expression, and some neuropsychiatric …

Objective Schizophrenia is associated with alterations in blood inflammatory markers,
including cytokines. Total white blood cell (WBC) count is a marker of low‐grade …

Although a genetic basis of depression has been well established in twin studies,
identification of genome-wide significant loci has been difficult. We hypothesized that …

To date, there have been no detailed reports of patients developing persistent psychotic
symptoms following Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. There have been …

Depression and obesity are very common pathologies. Both cause significant problems of
