We discuss the possibility of multiple underlying etiologies of the condition currently labeled as schizophrenia. We support this hypothesis with a theoretical model of the prefrontal-limbic system. We show how the dynamical behavior of…
Schizophrenia is one of the most disabling and difficult to treat of all human medical/health conditions, ranking in the top ten causes of disability worldwide. It has been a puzzle in part due to difficulty in identifying its basic,…
Schizophrenia is a severe yet treatable mental disorder, it is diagnosed using a multitude of primary and secondary symptoms. Diagnosis and treatment for each individual depends on the severity of the symptoms, therefore there is a need for…
Schizophrenia is a globally prevalent psychiatric disorder that severely impairs daily life. Schizophrenia is caused by dopamine imbalances in the fronto-striatal pathways of the brain, which influences fine motor control in the cerebellum.…
Schizophrenia is one of the most disabling mental health conditions to live with. Approximately one percent of the population has schizophrenia which makes it fairly common, and it affects many people and their families. Patients with…
Gene expression represents a fundamental interface between genes and environment in the development and ongoing plasticity of the human organism. Individual differences in gene expression are likely to underpin much of human diversity,…
Structured internal representations (cognitive maps) shape cognition, from imagining the future and counterfactual past, to transferring knowledge to new settings. Our understanding of how such representations are formed and maintained in…
Both neurobiological and environmental factors are known to play a role in the origin of schizophrenia, but no model has been proposed that accounts for both. This work presents a functional model of schizophrenia that merges psychodynamic…
Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder involving changes in thought patterns, perception, mood, and behavior. The diagnosis of schizophrenia is challenging and requires that patients show two or more positive symptoms for at least…
Schizophrenia is a chronic neuropsychiatric disorder that causes distinct structural alterations within the brain. We hypothesize that deep learning applied to a structural neuroimaging dataset could detect disease-related alteration and…
Schizophrenia is a debilitating, chronic mental disorder that significantly impacts an individual's cognitive abilities, behavior, and social interactions. It is characterized by subtle morphological changes in the brain, particularly in…
Language disruptions are one of the well-known effects of schizophrenia symptoms. They are often manifested as disorganized speech and impaired discourse coherence. These abnormalities in spontaneous language production reflect underlying…
In spite of years of research, the mechanisms that underlie the development of schizophrenia, as well as its relapse, symptomatology, and treatment, continue to be a mystery. The absence of appropriate analytic tools to deal with the…
Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a brain disorder where different people experience different symptoms, such as hallucination, delusion, flat-talk, disorganized thinking, etc. In the long term, this can cause severe effects and diminish life…
Although there have been so many studies on schizophrenia under the framework of predictive coding, works focusing on treatment are very preliminary. A model-oriented, operationalist, and comprehensive understanding of schizophrenia would…
Schizophrenic patients suffer from hallucination which its causality is not yet fully understood. This paper attempts to approach this mystery from the perspective of quantum mechanical theories. A novel approach has been adopted to…
The human brain has a complex, intricate functional architecture. While many studies primarily emphasize pairwise interactions, delving into high-order associations is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of how functional brain…
Schizophrenia (SZ) is a prevalent mental disorder characterized by cognitive, emotional, and behavioral changes. Symptoms of SZ include hallucinations, illusions, delusions, lack of motivation, and difficulties in concentration. Diagnosing…
Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are debilitating psychiatric illnesses that can be challenging to diagnose accurately. The similarities between the diseases make it difficult to differentiate between them using traditional diagnostic…
Studies on schizophrenia assessments using deep learning typically treat it as a classification task to detect the presence or absence of the disorder, oversimplifying the condition and reducing its clinical applicability. This traditional…
