Do premorbid and post-onset cognitive functioning differ between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder? A systematic review and meta-analysis
TLDR
SZ is characterized by significant deficits in Premorbid intellectual function but the evidence regarding premorbid function in BD is equivocal.
Bipolar I disorder with mood-incongruent psychotic symptoms
TLDR
Bipolar I disorders with MIS are the epiphenomenon of the overlap, possibly genetic, of a “schizophrenic spectrum” and a ‘bipolar spectrum’ and their antagonistic influence creating a "schizo-affective” area between them as a kind of psychotic continuum between prototypes.

Nature and main kinds of psychopathological mechanisms
The paper deals with two central issues in the philosophy of neuroscience and psychiatry, namely those of the nature and the major kinds and types of psychopathological mechanisms. Contrary to a…
Review of the 6th symposium for the search for the causes of schizophrenia, Sao Paulo, Brazil, 3–6 February 2009
TLDR
The main findings are presented of the 6th Symposium for the Search for the Causes of Schizophrenia, which took place between 3 and 6 February 2009, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and offer new clues about rare genetic mutations, which have large effect sizes for schizophrenia.
Trastorno esquizoafectivo. ¿Cuánto de esquizofrenia? ¿Cuánto de bipolar? Schizoaffective disorder. How much belongs to schizophrenia? How much belongs to bipolar disorder?
TLDR
Considering neurocognitive impairment within its course, Schizoaffective Disorder looks much closer to affective psychosis than to Schizophrenia, raising again the question about thinking in psychosis as a continuum in which SchizoAffective Disorder could represent an intermediate state.
Lifetime hypomanic symptoms in remitted patients with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.
TLDR
There is no simple, clear-cut between schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder, and there is no significant difference between patients in terms of general functioning among psychotic patients.
Morbidity profile of first-degree relatives of probands with schizophrenia: a comparison with mood disorder and healthy control
TLDR
First-degree relatives of probands with schizophrenia and mood disorder also had higher morbid risks for these psychotic conditions than healthy control with some measure of overlap between the two diagnostic categories.
Genetics of schizophrenia: Candidate genes and positional cloning analysis
TLDR
The results demonstrate that there is evidence for association of a specific haplotype with SZ with a Trimhap test and identified few loci that exhibit a considerable increase in LOD/HLOD scores.

TLDR
If psychiatry is to translate the opportunities offered by new research methodologies, it must move to a classificatory approach that is worthy of the 21st century, both immediately and for DSM-V and ICD-11.
Continuity and discontinuity of affective disorders and schizophrenia. Results of a controlled family study.
TLDR
There could be a familial relationship between the predispositions to schizophrenia and to major depression, as suggested by a controlled family study of consecutive admissions.

TLDR
There is an urgent need to change the current approach to categorical classifications of psychotic disorders, and this change needs to be a radical one.
Bipolar manic-depressive psychoses: Results of a genetic investigation
TLDR
The analysis of the intrafamilial distribution of diagnoses supported the assumption that “neurotic depression” belongs to the true spectrum of affective psychoses and not compatible with current hypotheses of multifactorial heredity.
Constraints on concepts of pathogenesis. Language and the speciation process as the key to the etiology of schizophrenia.

TLDR
A comparison of this hypothesis with previous hypotheses of the same type and with two other classes of hypotheses of pathogenesis in their ability to explain known drug effects, phenomenological characteristics, brain changes, and epidemiological characteristics reveals constraints on the type of theory that may be entertained and a pattern of strengths and weaknesses that points the way to a more incisive theory.
The Continuum of Psychosis and Its Genetic Origins
  • T. Crow

TLDR
The psychoses may represent aberrations of a late evolutionary development underlying the recent and rapid increase in brain weight in the transition from Australopithecus through Homo habilis and Homo erectus to Homo sapiens.
Familial syndrome patterns in schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, mania, and depression
TLDR
The principal goal of the present investigation was to test the phenotypical equivalence of the two populations of index cases and their affected relatives, and showed that typical syndrome patterns clearly appeared in both populations.
The Distinction Between the Affective Psychoses and Schizophrenia
TLDR
Kraepelin's hypothesis that the functional psychoses consist of two distinct disease entities receives some support from the findings, but there is still no compelling evidence that the universe of psychotic patients falls naturally into these two groups.
THE ACUTE SCHIZOAFFECTIVE PSYCHOSES
TLDR
A good social and industrial adjustment, the presence of a definite and specific environmental stress, the interest in life and its opportunities, and the absence of any passivity or withdrawal are some of the factors favoring recovery.
