Abstract
Although not included in current diagnostic criteria, sleep disturbances are common in patients with schizophrenia (SCZ) and significantly impact their cognitive function and clinical outcomes. Among sleep disturbances, abnormalities in sleep spindles—non-rapid eye movement (NREM) thalamocortical oscillations essential for sleep stability and memory consolidation—have emerged as potential neurophysiological biomarkers of SCZ.
期刊介绍:
Biological Psychiatry is an official journal of the Society of Biological Psychiatry and was established in 1969. It is the first journal in the Biological Psychiatry family, which also includes Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging and Biological Psychiatry: Global Open Science. The Society's main goal is to promote excellence in scientific research and education in the fields related to the nature, causes, mechanisms, and treatments of disorders pertaining to thought, emotion, and behavior. To fulfill this mission, Biological Psychiatry publishes peer-reviewed, rapid-publication articles that present new findings from original basic, translational, and clinical mechanistic research, ultimately advancing our understanding of psychiatric disorders and their treatment. The journal also encourages the submission of reviews and commentaries on current research and topics of interest.
