Unveiling the Neurobiological Underpinnings of Cognitive Dysfunction in Patients with Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder that affects up to 1% of the population worldwide. Cognitive deficits are a core feature of the disorder and strong predictors of social and functional outcome of schizophrenia. Research examining the cognitive abilities of people with schizophrenia revealed that cognitive impairment affects up to 75% of patients across multiple domains including processing speed, working memory, verbal memory, attention, executive functioning, and social cognition. Cognitive deficits often pre-date illness onset, can be present both during the acute and chronic phases of the illness and moreover they show little to modest response to pharmacological treatment at most. According to recent research, structural and functional neuroimaging techniques may be used to better understand the neurological underpinnings of schizophrenia-related cognitive abnormalities. These methods can give you information about the neural networks that underlie cognitive processes and may help to identify potential targets for cognitive remediation therapy and/or novel pharmacological treatments.

Insights into the Caregiver Perspective: Involvement, Well-being, and Interventions
The range, duration, and intensity of informal caregiving across different illnesses and disabilities have increased in the 21st century due to an increase in longevity and de-institutionalization in most countries. Caregiving is demanding and hence can be stressful in terms of time, effort, and financial requirements, depending on the nature of the illness or disability, the relationships between the person in need of support and the caregiver, and the role played by available health and social care services. However, research evidence has demonstrated that it can be also rewarding, and enables a different type of bonding than was the case before caregiving became a necessity.
