The causal mechanisms and treatment for the negative symptoms and cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia are the main issues attracting the attention of psychiatrists over the last decade.The first part of this review summarizes the pathogenesis of schizophrenia,especially the negative symptoms and cognitive dysfunc-tion from the perspectives of genetics and epigenetics.The second part describes the novel medications and several advanced physical therapies(e.g.,transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation)for the negative symptoms and cognitive dysfunction that will optimize the therapeutic strategy for patients with schizophrenia in future.

Dear Editor,rnIt is well-known that pupil size,albeit intrinsically sensi-tive to ambient luminance changes,can be modulated by many cognitive processes,especially those associated with physiological arousal[1].Compatible with this view,when observers are
Exposure to chronic hypoxia is considered to be a risk factor for deficits in brain function in adults,but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown.Since active myelinogenesis persists in the adult central nervous system,here we aimed to investiga

Dear Editor,rnAutistic people often show enhanced pitch-processing skills involving complex tones and musical tones.How-ever,when it comes to tones that carry linguistic meaning such as lexical tones in tonal languages and speech intonation,they tend to d
Over evolution,the human species has acquired higher cognitive function,which helps to distinguish Homo sapiens from other mammals.Particularly,humans have a large neocortex through the evolutionary expansion of the brain,which is believed to be instrumen
Social animals prefer to live in groups and transfer social signals to share their physical or psychological distress and seek comfort [1,2].During this process,social buffering is an essential concept in social networks.This refers to the phenomenon wher
Endogenously eliminating the hematoma is a favorable strategy in addressing intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH).This study sought to determine the role of retinoid X receptor-α (RXR-α) in the context of hematoma absorption after ICH.Our results showed that phar
Dear Editor,rnTonic immobility(TI),also termed“feigning death,”is the ultimate defensive response to inescapable threats.Since some predators do not like to eat dead animals,they stop hunting or eating the completely rigid prey under the impression that i
