Cognitive dysfunction is becoming increasingly established as a core feature of bipolar disorder (BD), however, the neural substrates underpinning these deficits remain unclear. Converging neuroimaging evidence has proposed alterations in white matter as being related to cognitive outcomes BD, yet to date, no body of work has aggregated these findings. In this systematic review protocol, we outline an approach to examine, summarise and appraise available literature investigating the relationship between cognition and white matter in BD.

Schizophrenia spectrum disorders are chronic and debilitating mental illnesses characterised by both cognitive impairments and sleep deficits. In this systematic review protocol, we outline an approach to examine the available literature investigating the relationship between sleep and cognition in individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorder.

The rising number of natural disasters and emergent conflicts that require coordinated international response has re-focused attention on linking relief, rehabilitation and development (LRRD). This systematic review protocol aims to inform a systematic review to identify primary operational strategies employed to link humanitarian and development interventions. This protocol is guided by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA) guidelines and details the review scope and parameters. Findings from this review can contribute to articulation of an integrated LRRD practice framework and its potential application to resilience and related policy instruments.

Schizophrenia is a significant mental health condition involving the dysregulation of multiple neurological pathways in its pathophysiology. The glutamate hypothesis for schizophrenia suggests a dysfunctional glutamatergic system throughout the varying phenotypic stages of schizophrenia – i.e. first-episode psychosis, chronic schizophrenia, and treatment-resistant schizophrenia. In this systematic review protocol (based on PRSIMA-P guidelines), we outline an approach to explore the relationship between the levels of glutamate, glutamine, and the glutamate-to-glutamine ratio and the varying phenotypic stages of schizophrenia. Furthermore, the protocol proposes to review the empirical magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) literature to better understand the association between these changes in the above clinical subgroups and their neuroanatomical correlates.
