A Way to Repair a “Leaky” Blood-Brain Barrier is Tested, Potentially Relevant for Schizophrenia, Autism and Other Disorders
A team of researchers co-led by a three-time BBRF grantee has developed a way to potentially repair the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), the protective membrane that separates the brain… Read More
With 5 Minutes of Recorded Speech, Machine Learning Attempts to Distinguish Psychosis-Related Disorders from Bipolar Disorder and Major Depression
In a new paper, researchers co-led by a BBRF grantee demonstrate a computer-based method for analyzing just 5 minutes of recorded speech to help distinguish people with a variety of psychiatric… Read More
After First Psychotic Episode, Long-Lasting Injectable Antipsychotics Reduced 3-Year Risk of Relapse, Hospitalization
A new study has added deeper perspective on the important question of whether patients taking long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotic medicines after a first episode of psychosis (FEP) have a… Read More
