Implications of olfactory agnosia for understanding sex differences in schizophrenia.

Evidence of Double Dissociation in Auditory Agnosia: Implications for Rehabilition

Olfactory processing, sex effects and heterogeneity in schizophrenia.

INTRODUCTION Smell identification deficits are associated with negative symptoms in schizophrenia, particularly in males. Far less information is known about the relationship of odor detection sensitivity (acuity) and negative symptoms in schizophrenia, and currently there is a dearth in sex-stratified research specifically examining odor sensitivity and smell identification. METHODS Fifty-ei...

Olfaction and cognition in schizophrenia: sex matters.

Cognitive and olfactory deficits occur in schizophrenia, but little is known whether sex modifies these deficits. We examined the relationship between olfaction and cognition in 55 schizophrenia patients and 32 healthy controls. Patients and controls demonstrated significant differences performing cognitive tasks. In patients, sex modified all relationships of odor identification to cognition. ...

A distinct serum protein pattern in patients with paranoid schizophrenia

Introduction: Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness, whose aetiology is still unclear; therefore, information about differences in serum protein patterns may improve the understanding of the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. The goal of this study was to use the proteomic approach to identify altered protein levels in the serum samples from patients with schizophrenia. Methods: Blood wa...
