Associations of polygenic risk scores for major depression and depression severity: an investigation of 105 623 individuals with 16 years follow-up Open
Genetic risk could be informative for identifying individuals at risk of depression with severe outcomes. With the novel approach of combined health care registries and self-report measures related to depression, the authors aimed to ident…

Initiation of Antipsychotics During the First Year After First‐Episode Psychosis: A Population‐Based Study Open
Background Antipsychotics are recommended after first‐episode psychosis. Knowledge on the current use patterns in real‐world settings is thus important to inform clinical practice. We aimed to describe antipsychotic initiation during 1 yea…

Associations Between Symptoms of Premenstrual Disorders and Polygenic Liability for Major Psychiatric Disorders Open
Importance Premenstrual disorders are heritable, clinically heterogenous, with a range of affective spectrum comorbidities. It is unclear whether genetic predispositions to affective spectrum disorders or other major psychiatric disorders …

An evolutionary timeline of the oxytocin signaling pathway Open
Oxytocin (OT) is a neuropeptide associated with both psychological and somatic processes like parturition and social bonding. Although OT homologs have been identified in many species, the evolutionary timeline of the entire OT signaling g…

Limited association between infections, autoimmune disease and genetic risk and immune activation in severe mental disorders Open
There were few significant associations between rate of infections, autoimmune disease or PRS and altered immune markers in SCZ and BD, and the detected associations represented only small changes in the immune aberrations. The findings su…

Evidence for Reduced Long-Term Potentiation-Like Visual Cortical Plasticity in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder Open
Several lines of research suggest that impairments in long-term potentiation (LTP)-like synaptic plasticity might be a key pathophysiological mechanism in schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder type I (BDI) and II (BDII). Using modulation…

Oxytocin pathway polygenic risk scores for severe mental disorder and metabolic phenotypes in the UK Biobank Open
Oxytocin is a neuromodulator and hormone that is typically associated with social cognition and behavior. In light of its purported effects on social cognition and behavior, research has investigated its potential as a treatment for psychi…

Heart rate variability is associated with disease severity in psychosis spectrum disorders Open
While a growing literature links cardiac autonomic dysregulation to a variety of psychiatric disorders, the relationship between cardiac autonomic functioning and specific symptoms in schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) remains el…

The relationship between oxytocin pathway genes and personality traits and psychosis characteristics Open
Oxytocin is a neuropeptide hormone well known for its importance in parturition and milk let down in women. An increasing amount of research has demonstrated that this hormone is involved in several aspects of social behavior, and oxytocin…
View article: Contribution of oxytocin receptor polymorphisms to amygdala activation in schizophrenia spectrum disorders
Contribution of oxytocin receptor polymorphisms to amygdala activation in schizophrenia spectrum disorders Open
Background Oxytocin has been proposed to mediate amygdala dysfunction associated with altered emotion processing in schizophrenia, but the contribution of oxytocin pathway genes is yet to be investigated. Aims To identify potential differe…
