Understanding how emotional regulation and brain connectivity affect early signs of psychosis
Developmental Trajectories of Attenuated Psychotic Symptoms: The Roles of Dispositional Emotion Regulation Strategy Use and Neural Connectivity in Pathways to Psychosis
['FUNDING_FELLOWSHIP'] · UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA-IRVINE · NIH-10996787
This study is looking at how managing emotions and brain connections might affect the early signs of psychosis in people who are at a higher risk, with the goal of finding ways to help prevent these symptoms from getting worse.

What this research studies
This research investigates how different emotional regulation strategies and brain connectivity patterns influence the development of early psychotic symptoms in individuals at high risk for psychosis. By using advanced imaging techniques like functional MRI, the study aims to identify the neural mechanisms underlying these symptoms and how they evolve over time. The research will also focus on the role of dispositional emotion regulation in shaping these developmental trajectories, providing insights into potential early interventions.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals who are identified as being at clinical high risk for psychosis, particularly those experiencing attenuated psychotic symptoms.
Not a fit: Patients who are not at risk for psychosis or who do not exhibit any early signs of psychotic symptoms may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved early identification and intervention strategies for individuals at risk of developing psychosis.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promising results in understanding the neural correlates of psychotic symptoms, suggesting that this approach could yield valuable insights.
