Prevalence of antipsychotic-induced extrapyramidal symptoms and their association with neurocognition and social cognition in outpatients with schizophrenia in the “real-life” Prog. Neuropsychopharmacol. Biol. Psychiatry (IF 4.361) Pub Date : 2021-01-20 Palmiero Monteleone, Giammarco Cascino, Alessio Maria Monteleone, Paola Rocca, Alessandro Rossi, Alessandro Bertolino, Eugenio Aguglia, Mario Amore, Enrico Collantoni, Giulio Corrivetti, Alessandro Cuomo, Antonello Bellomo, Enrico D’Ambrosio, Liliana Dell’Osso, Marianna Frascarelli, Giulia Maria Giordano, Luigi Giuliani, Carlo Marchesi, Mario Maj
First generation antipsychotics (FGAs) are more likely to induce extrapyramidal side-effects (EPS) than second generation antipsychotics (SGAs), and EPS have been shown associated to cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. So far, no study has explored the relationships between EPS and social cognition (SC) in people with schizophrenia. Therefore, we assessed the prevalence of EPS in a large sample of

Cocaine abstinence modulates NMDA receptor subunit expression: An analysis of the GluN2B subunit in cocaine-seeking behavior Prog. Neuropsychopharmacol. Biol. Psychiatry (IF 4.361) Pub Date : 2021-01-22 Irena Smaga, Karolina Wydra, Marcin Piechota, Lucia Caffino, Fabio Fumagalli, Marek Sanak, Małgorzata Filip
Cocaine use disorder develops in part due to the strong associations formed between drugs and the stimuli associated with drug use. Recently, treatment strategies including manipulations of drug-associated memories have been investigated, and the possibility of interfering with N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA)-mediated neurotransmission may represent an important option. The aim of this study was to examine
