Brain networks and thinking problems in mental health conditions
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have at least 6 years of formal education.
- You have schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression and are either newly diagnosed and untreated, or relapsed after stopping medication for more than a month.
- You can have an MRI brain scan (no metal in your body, no claustrophobia).
- You do not have a history of brain injury, substance abuse, or other serious medical or brain conditions.

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.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can improve thinking and memory in people with psychosis. It involves MRI scans and several study visits at McLean Hospital.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can improve brain connections in people with schizophrenia. It involves two types of MRI scans and several TMS sessions to see if it can help with thinking and symptoms.
This trial tests whether stimulating the cerebellum (a part of the brain involved in coordination and learning) can improve “cognitive control,” or the ability to focus and manage thoughts. You may be able to join if you have a diagnosis they are specifically enrolling for and you can safely complete the stimulation and study procedures.
This study uses brain scans to look at how a specific brain area works in schizophrenia. If you qualify, it may help researchers better understand the brain changes linked to symptoms.
This study tests a brain stimulation treatment (neuromodulation) to improve brain connectivity in people with schizophrenia. It aims to see if this approach can help with symptoms and cognitive function.
