Similarly, neutral images prompted hyper-activations in the cingulate gyrus in SCZ-TR patients, relative to the two other groups.<br/> CONCLUSIONS: Treatment resistance is associated with neuro-functional hyper-activations in schizophrenia patients during emotion processing.<br/> </p><p>PMID: 26255082 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]</p> en-us Copyright 2000-2026 NITRC OSI Mon, 04 May 2026 13:30:35 GMT http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss NITRC RSS generator
