Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) are side effects of antipsychotic therapy, and genetic and inflammatory mechanisms may contribute to EPS risk. This study investigated the associations among ABCC2 (rs4148396) gene polymorphisms, serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, and risperidone-induced EPS among patients...

Schizophrenia (SZ) is characterized by excitation-inhibition (E-I) imbalance as a core pathophysiological feature, but its molecular underpinnings remain elusive. Susceptibility gene Roundabout2 (Robo2), which regulates E-I balance in the central nervous system, may play a critical role in the pathogenesis...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease in schizophrenia (SCZ), yet its metabolic underpinnings, particularly in chronic SCZ, remain unclear. This study investigated plasma metabolic profiles and their associations with clinical features in chronic SCZ. Study Design:...

Although aberrant static functional brain network activity has been reported in schizophrenia, little is known about how the dynamics of neural function are altered in first-episode schizophrenia and are modulated by antipsychotic treatment. The baseline resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging...
