Interaction between peripheral and central immune markers in clinical high risk for psychosis.

ABSTRACT: Neuroinflammatory events prior to the diagnosis of schizophrenia may play a role in transition to illness. To date only one in-vivo study has investigated this association between peripheral proinflammatory cytokines and brain markers of inflammation (e.g., mitochondrial 18 kDa translocator protein, TSPO) in schizophrenia, but none in its putative prodrome. In this study, we primarily aimed to (Barron et al., 2017) test study group (clinical high-risk (CHR) and healthy controls) differences in peripheral inflammatory markers and test for any associations with symptom measures, (Hafizi et al., 2017a) investigate the interaction between brain TSPO levels (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and hippocampus) and peripheral inflammatory clusters (entire cohort and (CHR) group indepen
