Allergic tendencies are associated with larger gray matter volumes [PDF]
AbstractAllergic tendencies are associated with important cognitive and physiological factors, such as intelligence and mathematical abilities. Allergies are widely prevalent, especially in modern life, and the reason for its association with important cognitive variables is an intriguing scientific question. However, despite the unique characteristics

Larger gray matter volumes in neuropsychiatric long-COVID syndrome
Neuropsychiatric symptoms are the most common sequelae of long-COVID. As accumulating evidence suggests an impact of survived SARS-CoV-2-infection on brain physiology, it is necessary to further investigate brain structural changes in relation to course and neuropsychiatric symptom burden in long-COVID.

Cerebral Gray Matter Volume Deficits in First Episode Psychosis [PDF]
Structural brain differences including decreased gray matter and increased cerebrospinal fluid volumes have been observed in the brains of chronically ill patients with schizophrenia. We hypothesized that deficits in gray matter volume would be present in patients presenting with a first episode of nonaffective psychosis.We used magnetic resonance ...

Abnormalities of brain gray matter in bipolar depression and unipolar depression
ObjectiveWe sought to investigate differences in gray matter (GM) volume among patients with bipolar depression (BD), unipolar depression (UD), and healthy controls (HCs) to identify distinct gray matter volume abnormality patterns that may help ...

Insulin resistance and gray matter volume in neurodegenerative disease [PDF]
The goal of this study was to compare insulin resistance in aging and aging-related neurodegenerative diseases, and to determine the relationship between insulin resistance and gray matter volume (GMV) in each cohort using an unbiased, voxel-based approach.

Interleukin-6 gene (IL-6): a possible role in brain morphology in the healthy adult brain [PDF]
Background: Cytokines such as interleukin 6 (IL-6) have been implicated in dual functions in neuropsychiatric disorders. Little is known about the genetic predisposition to neurodegenerative and neuroproliferative properties of cytokine genes.
