Role of Cholinergic System in Neuropsychiatric Disorders

Role of inflammation in Neuropsychiatric disorders

Introduction: The concept of an “immune privileged” CNS has been redefined to suggest that the CNS is a site of selective and modified immune reactivity [1]. The findings presented provide mechanistic and clinical evidence to suggest that phenotypes of neuropsychiatric disorders such as cognitive and affective dysfunction and neurodegeneration are influenced by pathological functional and morph...

The Role of Dentate Gyrus Neurogenesis in Neuropsychiatric Disorders

The special issue reviews the most recent developments in dentate gyrus (DG) neurogenesis with regard to neuropsychiatric disorders. A few laboratories worldwide have contributed to this special issue, and their contributions have showcased the current efforts in understanding the functional significance of DG neurogenesis in depression, psychosis, and addiction. Additionally, a promising thera...

The role of sex and gender in neuropsychiatric disorders

The prevalence, age of onset, and clinical symptoms of many neuropsychiatric diseases substantially differ between males and females. Factors influencing the relationships between brain development and function and sex or gender may help us understand the differences between males and females in terms of risk or resilience factors in brain diseases.

Role of Hybrid Brain Imaging in Neuropsychiatric Disorders

This is a focused review of imaging literature to scope the utility of hybrid brain imaging in neuropsychiatric disorders. The review focuses on brain imaging modalities that utilize hybrid (fusion) techniques to characterize abnormal brain molecular signals in combination with structural and functional changes that have been observed in neuropsychiatric disorders. An overview of clinical hybri...
