简要总结
Based on the hypothesis that high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) on the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(DLPFC) and left parietal cortex(LPC) could normalise cognitive abnormalities by promoting hippocampal neurogenesis and cortical-hippocampal function in patients with schizophrenia,this research plan to utilise multimodal functional magnetic imaging method(including structural MRI,resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and 1H-MRS) to investigate therapeutic efficacy of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) on cognitive impairment in SZ patients with memory defects,as well as to elucidate the correlation between treatment effects and hippocampal neuroplasticity.
详细描述
This study includes 150 schizophrenia patients and 30 healthy controls.This study will investigate 1).abnormalities of hippocampal neurogenesis in patients with schizophrenia compared to healthy controls by using 1H-MRS technique 2a).potential modulation effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) on hippocampal neurogenesis and cortical-hippocampal function of patients with schizophrenia 2b).the optimal rTMS therapy pattern on promoting hippocampal neurogenesis and improving cortico-hippocampal function by comparing the outcome of stimulating two regions(right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex or left parietal cortex) respectively 3).the therapeutic efficacy of rTMS on cognitive impairments and other psychotic symptoms of patients with schizophrenia by adopting cognitive function and psychotic symptoms evaluation,as well as to explore the optimal rTMS treatment pattern on cognitive function by comparing the outcome of stimulating two regions(DLPFC or LPC) respectively 4)association between therapeutic efficacy of rTMS on cognitive deficits and rTMS modulation on hippocampal neurogenesis and its network function,in order to elucidate the underlying mechanism of therapeutic effects of rTMS on cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia.
