Description
Wensheng Chen and a team compare brain activity and cognition in psychotic depression and untreated schizophrenia, in work from 2024. The two disorders share symptoms yet differ in cause, course and treatment, and telling them apart by symptoms alone is hard. Forty-two depression patients and thirty schizophrenia patients took a standard cognitive battery and resting brain scans.
Schizophrenia patients scored lower across every cognitive domain, above all in visual construction and delayed memory. Their left precuneus also showed stronger local activity, and that activity tracked worse scores in both groups. The authors offer the pattern as imaging support for telling the disorders apart and for grasping their thinking problems.
