Effectiveness

How Adasuve Affects Patients

Loxapine is a type of tranquilizer believed to work by blocking dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain, resulting in a calming effect and reduced aggression. The exact way it works is not yet known.

How Adasuve works in the body

Loxapine works by blocking dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain. This reduces the excitability of some areas in the brain, resulting in a calming effect and diminished aggression. The exact mechanism of action is not well understood.

fMRI for Cognitive Flexibility

18 - 35
All Sexes
Iowa City, IA

The goal of this basic experimental research study is to examine how the human thalamus supports flexible thinking and behavior. Specifically, the research aims to elucidate how the mediodorsal (MD) thalamus encodes and updates "context"-the mental framework that determines which rules or actions are relevant in a given situation. This work may contribute to understanding why certain psychiatric conditions, such as schizophrenia and ADHD, involve difficulties with cognitive flexibility and control. The primary research questions are: Does the MD thalamus represent the context that organizes how working memory guides task selection? Does the MD thalamus signal when context needs to be updated after a change in task demands? Do these thalamic representations support generalization to new situations or rules? Participants will complete cognitive tasks while undergoing high-resolution brain imaging using 7-Tesla MRI. The investigators will combine behavioral data, computational modeling, and advanced neuroimaging analyses to examine how the thalamus interacts with the cortex during flexible decision-making.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Schizophrenia

18 - 65
All Sexes
Nashville, TN

The central hypothesis is this: DMN connectivity can be modulated with inhibitory cTBS when delivered on an accelerated treatment schedule. This study seeks to provide evidence that accelerated, network-targeted inhibitory stimulation of the DMN leads to both altered network activity and a concomitant behavioral change in cognitive performance in individuals with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. This study will also compare the effect of inhibitory cTBS in healthy individuals, as it may also lead to both altered network activity and a behavioral change in cognitive performance in individuals without schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. If successful, this study will have identified a safe, effective, and broadly applicable treatment for cognitive impairment in schizophrenia that has potential for translation into many other psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism.

Psychosocial Rehabilitation for Schizophrenia

18 - 50
All Sexes
Cleveland, OH

The purpose of this study is to understand how different types of community-based mental health care affect thinking abilities, daily functioning, and brain activity in adults with schizophrenia and related conditions. The investigators are especially interested in learning whether the Clubhouse Model-a structured, supportive community for individuals with mental illness-has unique benefits compared to standard outpatient mental health services. If participants decide to join, they will be asked to complete a total of six study visits with the research team over the course of your participation. Three of these study visits are at the beginning (baseline) and the remaining three are six months later. Two of the three visits will includes interviews, questionnaires, and thinking and memory tasks (cognitive testing) and one session will be an MRI brain scan, which is a safe and non-invasive imaging procedure. The total time required for each visit will be approximately 90 minutes to two hours. Participants may take breaks as needed.
