Association of Adverse Outcomes With Emotion Processing and Its Neural Substrate in Individuals at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis
Altres ajuts: The study received grant 08-MNP-007 from the French government Agence Nationale de la Recherche and grant AOM-07-118 (Influence of Cannabis Psychopathological Outcome in At-risk Mental State [ICAAR study]) from the French Health Ministry Programme Hospitalier de Recherche Clinique. The Sainte-Anne Hospital Center promoted the study. Dr Kempton was supported by a Medical Research Council Fellowship grant MR/J008915/1. Dr Pantelis was supported by Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council Senior Principal Research Fellowship (ID: 628386 & 1105825) and by grant R246-2016-3237 from the Lundbeck Foundation. Dr Modinos was supported by a Sir Henry Dale Fellowship #202397/Z/16/Z, jointly funded by The Wellcome Trust and the Royal Society. ; This case-control study analyzes emotion recognition and neuroimaging data as well as clinical and functional outcomes for individuals at risk for transition to psychosis and those without psychiatric or neurological disorders. Is altered emotion recognition associated with adverse clinical and functional outcomes in people at clinical high risk for psychosis? In this case-control study of 213 individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis and 52 healthy participants, abnormalities in the recognition of negative emotion at baseline were associated with neuroanatomical alterations in the medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampus and with a low level of functioning at a 12-month follow-up. This study found that, in people with high risk for developing psychosis, functional outcomes are associated with the degree to which their emotion processing is altered. The development of adverse clinical outcomes in patients with psychosis has been associated with behavioral and neuroanatomical deficits related to emotion processing. However, the association between alterations in brain regions subserving emotion processing and clinical outcomes remains unclear. To examine the association between alterations in emotion processing and regional gray matter volumes ...
