Neurocognition After Perturbed Sleep (NAPS): A Protocol for an Experimental Study Examining the Impact of Sleep on Neurocognition, Functioning, and Clinical Indicators in People with Schizophrenia.

Introduction: People with schizophrenia (SZ) display neurocognitive deficits that have been identified as predictors of poor functioning and disability. Previous reports have noted that these deficits are strikingly similar to the cognitive sequalae of poor sleep. Consistent with this observation, extensive animal and basic human research have strongly support the deleterious effects of poor sleep on neurocognition.

Childhood Trauma in People with Psychosis: Implications for Emotion Awareness and Regulation.

Background: Emotion awareness and regulation (EAR) are critical for effective social functioning. Individuals with psychosis display ineffective EAR, contributing substantially to poor functional outcomes. Reports in non-clinical and other clinical populations have linked childhood trauma to poor EAR.

Emotional granularity in health and psychopathology: A scoping review.

Background: Evidence from basic affective science indicates that Emotional Granularity (EG), the ability to recognize, distinguish, and articulate experienced emotions in fine-grained categories, has important functional implications, with lower EG associated with poorer functioning. Reviews of the literature on EG to date have focused on specific domains or narrow populations. However, no comprehensive review has systematically mapped its transdiagnostic relevance across both clinical and non-clinical populations.

Telehealth-Based vs In-Person Aerobic Exercise in Individuals With Schizophrenia: Comparative Analysis of Feasibility, Safety, and Efficacy.

Background: Aerobic exercise (AE) training has been shown to enhance aerobic fitness in people with schizophrenia. Traditionally, such training has been administered in person at gyms or other communal exercise spaces. However, following the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, many clinics transitioned their services to telehealth-based delivery.

Digital phenotyping of social functioning and employment in people with schizophrenia: Pilot data from an international sample.

Aim: Individuals living with schizophrenia experience significant impairments in social functioning. As a major clinical outcome, social functioning requires appropriate measurement tools that can capture its dynamic nature. Digital phenotyping, using smartphone technology to collect high volume ecologically valid data, can potentially capture these facets.
