Official title
Targeting Inflammation-Induced Changes in Brain Reward Signaling and Motivational Deficits in Patients With Schizophrenia Using an Anti-Inflammatory Challenge.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study aims to illuminate the biological underpinnings of negative symptoms in schizophrenia-particularly motivational impairments-by probing the link between systemic inflammation and neural activity in reward-related brain circuits. The primary goal of this study is to determine: * Ventral Striatum Activation: Assess how reward anticipation engages the ventral striatum in individuals with schizophrenia, both before and after an anti-inflammatory intervention. * Anterior Insula Activation: Examine how increasing effort demands modulate activity in the anterior insula under the same conditions.
