Understanding thinking problems in brain disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how psychiatric and neurological conditions affect thinking and memory skills. By comparing patients with healthy volunteers, researchers hope to better understand these cognitive problems and find new ways to help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a diagnosed psychiatric or neurological condition (or be a healthy volunteer for comparison).
- You must be able to undergo cognitive testing (like memory and thinking tasks).
- If you are having an MRI, you cannot have any metal implants or be pregnant.
- You must be part of a social security (health insurance) system.

This study uses brain scans to understand why thinking and memory problems happen in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression. It may help find better ways to diagnose or treat these conditions.
This study uses a special brain scan (functional MRI) to look at how schizophrenia affects thinking and memory. It may help researchers understand why some people with schizophrenia have trouble with concentration, planning, or remembering things.
This study investigates how much mental effort people with psychotic disorders (like schizophrenia) use during thinking tests, compared to people without mental health conditions. It may help researchers better understand cognitive challenges in these disorders.
This study looks at neurofilament light (a brain/nerve injury marker) and how it relates to thinking and memory problems in people with certain psychiatric conditions. It may help researchers understand brain changes and cognitive impairment, which could guide better diagnosis in the future.
This study uses advanced MRI scans and visual perception tests to learn more about severe mental disorders like depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. It aims to improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes.
This study uses memory and thinking tests along with brain scans (likely MRI) to understand how different types of brain damage affect thinking. It may help doctors learn more about brain-related cognitive problems.
