Title: Different faces of catatonia and how to approach them.
Authors: Hirjak, Dusan (AUTHOR), Sambataro, Fabio (AUTHOR), Northoff, Georg (AUTHOR), Wolf, Robert Christian (AUTHOR)

Subjects: Catatonia, Prefrontal cortex
Abstract: Dear Editor, We were very pleased to read the excellent article by Parekh et al. [[1]] who used different functional and structural biomarkers to investigate complex pathomechanisms of acute retarded catatonia. The fractional amplitude of low-frequency component spanned multiple brain regions including the bilateral frontal pole, the precuneus, bilateral precentral gyri, lateral occipital cortex, right postcentral gyrus, and the right temporal pole, respectively. In this context, the question arises whether it is possible to detect catatonia (similar to other psychiatric disorders) at an early stage before the catatonia becomes an emergency or develops into malignant catatonia?.
