Background: Individuals at ultra-high risk (UHR) for psychosis are understood to be the putative prodrome of overt psychosis, although there is still a possibility of false positives. The aim of the present study is to examine the potential links between multi-dimensional schizotypy, basic symptoms and emerging psychosis as defined by positive symptoms in individuals at ultra-high risk (UHR) fo...

An increased number of visits and time spent in the open arms of the elevated plus-maze by malnourished rats has been used as indicative of lower anxiety or impulsiveness. In order to study how this behavior profile responds to an anxiogenic procedure (short-term social isolation), control (16% protein) and malnourished (6% protein) rats were socially isolated prior to the test in the maze. Lit...

In this perspective, we used a naturalistic study to compare, during a month-long intensive dialectical beha...
