Background

Intranasal administration of the neuropeptide oxytocin has been explored as a potential therapeutic agent for substance use disorder including opioid use disorder (OUD).

Methods

This phase 1, crossover, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial tested the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of intranasal oxytocin (80 IU) twice a day for 7 days in participants (N = 20) with OUD who were taking an opioid agonist therapy. In the laboratory, participants underwent opioid cue exposure paired with noradrenergic activation produced by yohimbine (32.4 mg) or placebo. Assessments included, 1) subjective response: craving, withdrawal, anxiety, and stress; 2) biomedical markers: hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis response (cortisol) and noradrenergic activation (α-amylase); and 3) safety measures: hemodynamics and adverse event evaluation. Generalized linear model with model-based estimator in the covariance matrix was used, with medication (oxytocin/placebo) and noradrenergic activation (yohimbine/placebo) as within-subject factors.

Results

Oxytocin significantly reduced opioid-like withdrawal, anxiety symptoms, and cortisol levels elicited by cue exposure under noradrenergic activation produced by yohimbine. This effect was specific because oxytocin did not reduce craving, hemodynamics, or α-amylase levels increased by yohimbine administration. A single dose of yohimbine elicited the noradrenergic stimulation, and 7-day oxytocin administration was safe and well tolerated among individuals diagnosed with OUD and taking opioid agonist therapy.

Conclusions

The findings of this study suggest that oxytocin alleviates opioid-like withdrawal symptoms and anxiety by modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.

方法这项一期交叉、随机、双盲、安慰剂对照试验测试了鼻内注射催产素（80 IU）的安全性、耐受性和疗效，对正在接受阿片类激动剂治疗的 OUD 患者（20 人）进行了为期 7 天、每天两次的测试。在实验室中，参与者在接触阿片类物质线索的同时，还接受育亨宾（32.4 毫克）或安慰剂产生的去甲肾上腺素能激活。评估包括：1）主观反应：渴求、戒断、焦虑和压力；2）生物医学指标：下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺轴反应（皮质醇）和去甲肾上腺素能激活（α-淀粉酶）；3）安全性测量：血液动力学和不良事件评估。结果催产素能显著降低阿片类戒断、焦虑症状和皮质醇水平，在育亨宾产生的去肾上腺素能激活作用下，暴露于诱因引起的皮质醇水平显著降低。这种效应是特异性的，因为催产素并不能降低因服用育亨宾而增加的渴求、血液动力学或α-淀粉酶水平。本研究结果表明，催产素可通过调节下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺轴来缓解阿片类戒断症状和焦虑。

Background

Among people with schizophrenia (PSZ), reduced mismatch negativity (MMN) is conceptualized as evidence of disrupted prediction error signaling that underlies positive symptoms. However, this conceptualization has been challenged by observations that MMN and positive symptoms are often uncorrelated. In the current study, we tested the hypothesis that reduced MMN is associated with the presence of hallucinations and delusions specifically rather than the presence of a psychiatric illness. A second aim was to determine whether the strength of the association with positive symptoms increases for indices that reflect predictions at higher levels of abstraction.

Methods

Fifty-six PSZ, 34 nonclinical voice hearers, and 48 healthy comparison subjects (HCs) completed 2 MMN paradigms: one with a simple duration deviant type, and one with a higher-level, pattern-violation deviant type. We also measured the repetition positivity, which reflects the formation of auditory memory traces.

Results

We observed that although PSZ exhibited the expected pattern of significantly reduced duration MMN and reduced pattern-violation MMN at the trend level compared with HCs, nonclinical voice hearers exhibited a pattern of duration MMN and pattern-violation MMN amplitude that was statistically similar to that of HCs (ps > .64). Similarly, PSZ exhibited a significantly reduced repetition positivity slope compared with HCs in the duration condition and a trend-level reduction compared with HCs in the pattern-violation condition. Nonclinical voice hearers did not differ from either group in repetition positivity slope in either condition.

Conclusions

These results indicate that the MMN as a prediction error signal does not reflect processes relevant for the manifestation of hallucinations and delusions.

背景在精神分裂症（PSZ）患者中，错配负性（MMN）的降低被认为是预测错误信号传递中断的证据，而预测错误信号传递中断是阳性症状的基础。然而，MMN与阳性症状往往不相关的观察结果却对这一概念提出了质疑。在本研究中，我们检验了这样一个假设，即 MMN 的降低与幻觉和妄想的出现相关，而不是与精神疾病的出现相关。研究方法：56 名 PSZ、34 名非临床语音倾听者和 48 名健康对比受试者（HCs）完成了 2 个 MMN 范例：一个是简单的持续时间偏差类型，另一个是更高层次的模式违反偏差类型。我们还测量了反映听觉记忆痕迹形成的重复积极性。结果我们观察到，虽然 PSZ 与 HCs 相比，在趋势水平上表现出预期的持续时间 MMN 显著减少和模式违反 MMN 减少的模式，但非临床语音听者表现出的持续时间 MMN 和模式违反 MMN 振幅模式在统计学上与 HCs 相似（ps >.64）。同样，在持续时间条件下，PSZ 的重复阳性斜率与 HC 相比明显降低；在模式违反条件下，PSZ 的重复阳性斜率与 HC 相比呈下降趋势。这些结果表明，MMN 作为一种预测错误信号，并不能反映与幻觉和妄想表现相关的过程。

Background

The error-related negativity (ERN) is a brain response evoked by mistakes in cognitive tasks that is enhanced with anxiety and can predict the subsequent onset or exacerbation of anxiety in children and adolescents. A physical disturbance to standing balance evokes a brain response called the balance N1 that resembles the ERN in scalp topography and in response to a variety of moderating factors. We recently found that the balance N1 and ERN correlate in amplitude across small samples of adults.

Methods

In the current study, we tested the effect of anxiety on the balance N1 in children (ages 9–12 years) with and without diagnosed anxiety disorders (38 children with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and/or obsessive-compulsive disorder and 50 children without these disorders). We measured the balance N1 in response to sudden release of support from a forward leaning posture, the ERN in response to mistakes on a Go/NoGo task, and anxiety symptoms using child- and parent-report forms of the Screen for Child Anxiety and Related Emotional Disorders.

Results

Both the balance N1 and the ERN were larger in the anxious group. The balance N1 was also associated with both the ERN and parent report of child anxiety symptom severity across individuals.

Conclusions

The higher measurement reliability of the balance N1 than the ERN and greater experimental control over errors suggest that balance paradigms may provide a more powerful method for investigating individual differences in error-related brain activity related to anxiety.

背景错误相关负性（error-related negativity，ERN）是由认知任务中的错误所诱发的一种大脑反应，这种反应会随着焦虑而增强，并能预测儿童和青少年随后焦虑的发生或加重。对站立平衡的物理干扰会诱发一种称为平衡 N1 的大脑反应，这种反应在头皮地形图和对各种调节因素的反应方面与 ERN 相似。在本研究中，我们测试了焦虑对患有和未患有焦虑症的儿童（9-12 岁）平衡 N1 的影响（38 名患有广泛性焦虑症、社交焦虑症和/或强迫症的儿童和 50 名未患有这些疾病的儿童）。我们测量了从前倾姿势突然松开支撑时的平衡N1、在 "去/不去 "任务中出现错误时的ERN，以及使用儿童焦虑和相关情绪障碍筛查的儿童和家长报告表测量的焦虑症状。结论与 ERN 相比，平衡 N1 的测量可靠性更高，而且对错误的实验控制更强，这表明平衡范式可能为研究与焦虑有关的错误相关大脑活动的个体差异提供了一种更有效的方法。

Background

Evidence for widespread comorbidity of executive dysfunctions with psychiatric disorders suggests common mechanisms underlying their pathophysiology. However, the shared genetic architectures between psychiatric disorders and executive function (EF) remain poorly understood.

Methods

Leveraging large genome-wide association study datasets of European ancestry on bipolar disorder (N = 353,899), major depressive disorder (N = 674,452), and schizophrenia (N = 130,644) from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium and iPSYCH and a common factor of EF (N = 427,037) from UK Biobank, we systematically investigated the shared genomic architectures between psychiatric disorders and EF with a set of statistical genetic, functional genomic, and gene-level analyses.

Results

Our study demonstrated substantial genetic overlaps and significant genetic correlations between psychiatric disorders and EF. EF showed an estimated 95.9%, 98.1%, and 99.2% of phenotype-influencing variants, as well as 50, 23, and 130 genomic loci shared with bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia, respectively. Single nucleotide polymorphism heritability enrichment suggests that the genetic architecture of psychiatric disorders and EF involves the brain’s frontal cortex and prefrontal glutamatergic neurons 1 and 2. Functional genomic analysis of shared variants identified 12 functional regulatory variants that regulate gene expression by affecting the binding affinities of 5 transcription factors. In addition, functional characterization analyses of shared genes revealed potential common biological mechanisms related to synaptic processes and fetal brain development.

Conclusions

Our findings provide evidence for extensive shared genetic architectures between psychiatric disorders and EF and have valuable implications for future mechanistic investigations and drug development efforts.

背景执行功能障碍与精神障碍广泛共存的证据表明，它们的病理生理学有着共同的机制。然而，人们对精神疾病与执行功能（EF）之间的共同遗传结构仍然知之甚少。方法利用精神病基因组学联合会和 iPSYCH 的大型欧洲血统双相情感障碍（N = 353,899 ）、重度抑郁障碍（N = 674,452 ）和精神分裂症（N = 130,644 ）全基因组关联研究数据集，以及英国生物库的 EF 共同因子（N = 427、037），我们通过一系列遗传统计、功能基因组和基因水平分析，系统地研究了精神疾病和 EF 之间的共享基因组结构。结果我们的研究表明，精神疾病与心房颤动之间存在大量的遗传重叠和显著的遗传相关性。估计 95.9%、98.1% 和 99.2% 的表型影响变异以及 50、23 和 130 个基因组位点分别与双相情感障碍、重度抑郁障碍和精神分裂症共享。单核苷酸多态性遗传富集表明，精神障碍和EF的遗传结构涉及大脑额叶皮层和前额叶谷氨酸能神经元1和2。对共有变异的功能基因组分析发现了 12 个功能调控变异，它们通过影响 5 个转录因子的结合亲和力来调控基因表达。此外，共享基因的功能特征分析揭示了与突触过程和胎儿大脑发育有关的潜在共同生物机制。结论我们的研究结果为精神疾病和 EF 之间广泛的共享遗传结构提供了证据，对未来的机理研究和药物开发工作具有重要意义。

Background

Existing functional connectivity studies of psychosis use population-averaged functional network maps, despite highly variable topographies of these networks across the brain surface. We aimed to define the functional network areas and topographies in the general population and the changes associated with psychotic experiences (PEs) and disorders.

Methods

Maps of 8 functional networks were generated using an individual-specific template-matching procedure for each participant from the Human Connectome Project Young Adult cohort (n = 1003) and from a matched case cohort (schizophrenia [SCZ], n = 27; bipolar disorder, n = 35) scanned identically with the same Connectom scanner. In the Human Connectome Project Young Adult cohort, PEs were estimated based on scores from the Achenbach Self-Report Scale. The relationship of symptoms to the probability of network representation at each cortical vertex was assessed using logistic regression.

Results

In Human Connectome Project Young Adult participants, PE severity on the Achenbach thought problems scale was predicted by increased language network (LAN) and dorsal attention network (DAN) areas and decreased cingulo-opercular network area (r < 0.12). Significant effects were found in SCZ, with a larger DAN and LAN and a smaller frontoparietal network. Network pattern analysis in SCZ showed an increased probability of LAN in the posterior region of the left superior temporal gyrus and of the visual network in the left insula. Regression analyses in SCZ found that mood dysregulation was related to increased DAN surface area.

Conclusions

Those with PEs and SCZ showed abnormal functional network cortical topographies, particularly involving DAN and LAN. Network findings may predict psychosis progression and guide earlier intervention.

背景现有的精神病功能连接研究使用的是人群平均功能网络图，尽管这些网络在整个大脑表面的拓扑结构变化很大。我们的目的是确定普通人群的功能网络区域和拓扑图，以及与精神病性体验（PEs）和障碍相关的变化。方法使用特定于个体的模板匹配程序，为人类连接组项目青年成人队列（n = 1003）和匹配病例队列（精神分裂症 [SCZ]，n = 27；双相情感障碍，n = 35）中的每位参与者生成 8 个功能网络图。在人类连接组计划年轻成人队列中，PE 是根据 Achenbach 自我报告量表的得分估算的。结果在人类连接组计划的年轻成人参与者中，语言网络（LAN）和背侧注意力网络（DAN）区域的增加以及丘脑-小脑网络区域的减少（r <0.12）可预测Achenbach思想问题量表中PE的严重程度。在 SCZ 中发现了显著的影响，DAN 和 LAN 变大，额顶网络变小。SCZ 的网络模式分析显示，左侧颞上回后部区域和左侧岛叶视觉网络出现 LAN 的概率增加。SCZ患者的回归分析发现，情绪失调与DAN表面积的增加有关。网络发现可预测精神病的发展并指导早期干预。

Background

X chromosome parent of origin (POX) has been proposed as a source of phenotypic variation within sex chromosome aneuploidies such as Klinefelter syndrome (XXY/KS) and between XX and XY individuals. However, previous studies have yielded conflicting results regarding the presence and nature of POX effects, which we sought to clarify in an expanded sample with deeper neurobehavioral phenotyping.

Methods

A cohort of 58 individuals with XXY/KS underwent duo or trio genome sequencing with parents (n = 151), measurement of 66 neurobehavioral phenotypes by standardized research assessments, and measurement of over 1000 anatomical phenotypes by structural magnetic resonance imaging. We developed a novel algorithm, the uniparental disomy visualization for variant call format files, to determine proband POX and then systematically tested for POX associations with all neurobehavioral and neuroanatomical outcomes.

Results

The uniparental disomy visualization for variant call format files algorithm showed maternal POX in 35 of 58 cases (60.3%). There were no statistically significant POX effects on any of the 66 subscale measures of cognition, psychopathology, or behavior. Neuroimaging analysis identified 2 regions in the right hemisphere with significantly higher surface area (mean effect size = 1.20) among individuals with paternal versus maternal POX (q = .021).

Conclusions

Using deeper phenotyping in an expanded sample, we did not find evidence for substantial POX effects on neurobehavioral variability, except for localized unilateral modulations of surface area in the absence of co-occurring behavioral associations. These findings help to clarify previous inconsistencies in POX research and direct attention toward other sources of clinical variability in sex chromosome aneuploidies.

背景X染色体原父（POX）被认为是性染色体非整倍体（如Klinefelter综合征（XXY/KS））内部以及XX和XY个体之间表型变异的来源。方法：58 名 XXY/KS 患者与父母（n = 151）一起接受了双基因组或三基因组测序，通过标准化研究评估测量了 66 种神经行为表型，并通过结构磁共振成像测量了 1000 多种解剖表型。我们开发了一种新型算法--变异调用格式文件的单亲断裂可视化算法，用于确定原告的POX，然后系统检测了POX与所有神经行为和神经解剖结果的关联。在认知、精神病理学或行为的 66 个分量表测量中，POX 对任何一项都没有统计学意义上的影响。结论通过对扩大样本进行更深入的表型分析，我们没有发现POX对神经行为变异性有实质性影响的证据，除了在没有并发行为关联的情况下，局部单侧表面积的改变。这些发现有助于澄清以前在 POX 研究中存在的不一致之处，并引导人们关注性染色体非整倍体临床变异的其他来源。

Background

Mindfulness training (MT) programs have demonstrated utility as cognitive training tools, but there is little consensus on the neurophysiological processes that may underlie its benefits. It has been posited that intrinsic brain activity recorded at rest reflects the functional connectivity of large-scale brain networks and may provide insight into neuroplastic changes that support MT. In the current study, we indexed changes in several resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) parameters to investigate the neurophysiological underpinnings of MT.

Methods

Resting-state EEG data were collected from active-duty U.S. military personnel (N = 80) at 2 testing sessions: before (time [T] 1) and after (T2) engaging in an 8-week MT or active comparison intervention (positivity training). We examined longitudinal and/or groupwise differences in several EEG parameters through parameterization of power spectra (individual alpha frequency and 1/f activity) and microstate analysis.

Results

While no significant group × time differences were observed in individual alpha frequency, significant group × time effects were observed in several EEG parameters from T1 to T2. Compared with MT, positivity training was associated with a steepening of the 1/f slope and higher 1/f intercepts together with decreased duration and increased global field power of microstates.

Conclusions

Taken together, these results suggest that the effects of interventions may be differentiated in resting-state brain activity in a sample of military personnel. Such findings provide insight into the neural underpinnings of MT-related brain changes, but more research is required to elucidate how these may relate to task-related neural and performance changes with MT and whether results generalize to other mindfulness interventions in alternative cohorts and contexts.

背景正念训练（Mindfulness Training，MT）项目已被证明是一种有效的认知训练工具，但对于其益处所依赖的神经生理过程却鲜有共识。有人认为，静息状态下记录到的内在大脑活动反映了大规模大脑网络的功能连接性，可能有助于了解支持正念训练的神经可塑性变化。在当前的研究中，我们对静息状态脑电图（EEG）的几个参数的变化进行了索引，以研究 MT 的神经生理学基础。方法：我们收集了现役美国军人（N = 80）在两次测试中的静息状态脑电图数据：在参加为期 8 周的 MT 或积极比较干预（积极性训练）之前（时间 [T] 1）和之后（T2）。我们通过功率谱参数化（单个阿尔法频率和 1/f 活动）和微状态分析研究了几个脑电图参数的纵向和/或组间差异。结果虽然在单个阿尔法频率上没有观察到显著的组间 × 时间差异，但在 T1 到 T2 的几个脑电图参数上观察到显著的组间 × 时间效应。与 MT 相比，积极性训练与 1/f 斜率变陡、1/f 截距增大以及微态持续时间缩短和全场功率增大有关。这些发现为了解与 MT 相关的大脑变化的神经基础提供了洞察力，但还需要更多的研究来阐明这些变化与 MT 任务相关的神经和表现变化之间的关系，以及这些结果是否能推广到其他队列和环境中的其他正念干预。
