To quantify risperidone-related changes in morphometric similarity at the individual level and test their spatial alignment with cortical transcriptomic patterns. Twenty-four drug-naive first-episode schizophrenia patients and 30 healthy controls underwent T1-weighted imaging scans. Patients were scanned before and after 12 weeks of treatment with risperidone; symptoms and cognitive function were assessed with PANSS and MCCB scale. For each scan, cortical morphometric similarity matrices were built from regional cortical thickness distributions using the Wasserstein distance. We defined Morphometric Similarity Deviation (MSD) as a subject-level, normative-referenced departure from the healthy morphometric similarity pattern, derived from node-wise fingerprint correlations with the healthy template. Partial least squares regression related treatment-induced MSD changes to cortical transcriptomic data obtained from the Allen Human Brain Atlas. Patients exhibited high MSD in the frontal, temporal, and temporoparietal regions. Greater baseline MSD across the whole brain and multiple networks were associated with more severe positive symptoms. After treatment, MSD decreased, and reductions within the salience/ventral attention network associated with improved Emotional Intelligence. Moreover, risperidone-induced changes in MSD were spatially correlated with the expression of specific genes enriched in neurotransmission, cell adhesion, immune function, and schizophrenia. Specific expression analyses revealed that these genes were specifically expressed in astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, and spanned almost all developmental stages. Risperidone reduces MSD, reflecting convergence toward a normative cortical morphometric similarity pattern. These changes were spatially aligned with gene expression patterns involved in neurotransmission and immune processes, suggesting a molecular basis for treatment-linked structural normalization and its cognitive benefits.</p>","PeriodicalId":74758,"journal":{"name":"Schizophrenia (Heidelberg, Germany)","volume":" ","pages":"19"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12881435/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145947177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), we quantified DA, 5-HT, NE and their metabolites, HVA, DOPAC, and 5-HIAA, along with protein levels of key monoamine-metabolizing enzymes (MAO-A, MAO-B, and COMT isoforms) in post-mortem dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and hippocampus from chronic schizophrenia patients and matched healthy controls. Although absolute monoamine and enzyme levels did not differ between cases and controls, partial correlation analyses revealed remarkable schizophrenia-specific interactions. In particular, patients exhibited distinct 5-HT-DOPAC correlations in both regions, suggesting an abnormal coupling between serotonergic and dopaminergic metabolism. In the DLPFC, the DA-NE correlation was markedly attenuated in schizophrenia, potentially reflecting disrupted catecholaminergic integration relevant to cognitive function and salience processing. Furthermore, an increased 5-HIAA-5-HT correlation emerged in the hippocampus of schizophrenia patients, indicative of abnormal serotonin turnover. In conclusion, our observations indicate that while the cerebral concentrations of monoamines and their catabolites remain relatively stable in patients with schizophrenia, their interactions are significantly dysregulated compared to those reported in healthy controls.

SSD participants and healthy controls (HC) underwent fMRI while exposed to delays between active or passive button presses and auditory outcomes. A delay detection task assessed recalibration effects on auditory perception (unimodal trials) and its transfer to visual perception (cross-modal trials). In unimodal trials, HC exhibited reduced activation in left middle frontal gyrus (MFG) after recalibration, particularly for active movements, whereas this effect was reversed in SSD. In cross-modal trials, recalibration was linked to increased activation in bilateral cerebellum in HC, especially for active movements, a pattern significantly reduced in SSD. These findings suggest that unimodal temporal recalibration of action-outcome predictions in HC is reflected in reduced prediction error-related MFG activity, which is significantly reduced in SSD revealing potentially disrupted recalibration processes. Additionally, cerebellar engagement appears crucial for cross-modal transfer of recalibrated action-outcome timings, a process that may be impaired in SSD, leading to severe perceptual disturbances like hallucinations.</p>","PeriodicalId":74758,"journal":{"name":"Schizophrenia (Heidelberg, Germany)","volume":" ","pages":"10"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12858854/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145949322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We recruited 62 drug-native patients with SCZ and 44 age and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs), assessing: serum levels of cytokines, cognition using the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery, and resting-state functional connectivity (FC) and functional connectivity network (FCN) features. Correlation and mediation analyses were employed to examine relationships among peripheral inflammation, brain functional alterations, and cognitive deficits. The findings revealed reduced FC in SCZ between the right subiculum of the hippocampus and the anterior division of the right parahippocampal gyrus (aPaHC), as well as the entorhinal cortex and the left lingual gyrus/precuneus. Conversely, the thalamus exhibited aberrant hyperconnectivity with widespread areas, including the Cornu Ammonis of the hippocampus, right lateral occipital cortex, intraparietal sulcus (IPS), and sensorimotor areas. Conjunction analysis identified distinct disruptions within hippocampal-thalamo-visual circuitry, suggesting that an imbalance in thalamo-visual and intra-hippocampal connectivity may mediate the relationship between peripheral inflammation (e.g., IL-4, CCL-2) and working memory dysfunction.

We suggest that recent developments in the realm of computational psychiatry may help to remedy this situation. In particular, we discuss the potential of predictive processing, a highly influential computational framework of brain function, to reduce the stigma associated with schizophrenia. We argue that predictive processing accounts may do so by bridging the explanatory gap between biology and psychotic experiences within a normative theory of brain function, thus offering a normalizing perspective on the neural underpinnings of schizophrenia. This may facilitate not only a better understanding of psychotic experiences but also counteract connotations of biological determinism and foster belief in change.

We compared the ASSR/resting MSE ratio between the NC and SZ groups. In the NC group, transitioning from the resting state to the ASSR state caused increased alpha-band entropy and decreased gamma-band entropy, whereas no such shifts were observed in patients with SZ. This study suggests that in NCs, alpha-band oscillatory complexity, which influences cortical response properties, increases during the transition from intrinsic to extrinsic information processing, while gamma-band oscillatory complexity decreases, likely due to concentration on auditory processing of a temporal enriching stimulation with high salience. Patients with SZ, which are marked by impaired neural synchrony, lacked the NCs' pronounced changes in neural complexity across frequency bands.
