Polymorphisms in < em > ERBB4 < /em > and < em > TACR1 < /em > associated with dry mouth in clozapine-treated patients
CONCLUSION: Use of valproate or antipsychotic polypharmacy may increase the risk of sialorrhea. Genetic variations in ERBB4 and TACR1 might contribute to experienced dryness of mouth among patients treated with clozapine.PMID:38634369 | DOI:10.1017/neu.2024.9 (Source: Acta Neuropsychiatrica)

Association Between Cortical Thickness or Surface Area and Divergent Thinking in Patients with Bipolar Disorder
CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that divergent thinking involves cerebral structures for executive control, mental imagery, and visual processing in patients with BD, and the right prefrontal cortex might be the most crucial of these structures.PMID:38623725 | DOI:10.1017/neu.2024.17 (Source: Acta Neuropsychiatrica)

Impact of Elevated Body Mass Index (BMI) on Cognitive Functioning and Inflammation in Persons with Post-COVID-19 Condition: A Secondary Analysis
CONCLUSION: We observed a significant negative correlation between BMI and cognitive functioning, and a significant positive correlation between BMI and inflammation in persons with PCC, suggesting a bidirectional interplay between BMI, PCC, and cognitive function; individuals with an elevated BMI may be at a greater risk of developing PCC and/or presenting with greater cognitive deficits mediated by chronic systemic inflammation.PMID:38605630 | DOI:10.1017/neu.2024.16 (Source: Acta Neuropsychiatrica)
