Schizophrenia and disordered neural circuitry.
The knowledge of how alterations in neural circuitry relate to the symptoms of schizophrenia may depend on our ability to disentangle a complex cascade of pathological events that affect multiple brain regions. Recent progress in Alzheimer's disease research may provide several useful guiding principles in this pursuit.

form (Cameron et al., 2009b). The following changes have been made to the chapters in this thesis with respect to the original publications. In Chapter 2, minor editorial changes have been made for continuity with other chapters in the thesis, as well as to correct an error in reporting degrees freedom in one-way ANOVA statistical tests. Editorial changes include: „nonswitch‟ to „non-switch‟; „...
متن کاملGenetic overlap between schizophrenia and selective components of executive function.
Impairments in selective components of executive function are seen in unaffected family members of patients with schizophrenia and may represent the biological expression of increased genetic risk. However no study has quantified the extent to which liability to schizophrenia overlaps genetically with that of executive dysfunction. We studied a total of 418 monozygotic and dizygotic twins, incl...
متن کاملPrefrontal cortex and neural mechanisms of executive function.
Executive function is a product of the coordinated operation of multiple neural systems and an essential prerequisite for a variety of cognitive functions. The prefrontal cortex is known to be a key structure for the performance of executive functions. To accomplish the coordinated operations of multiple neural systems, the prefrontal cortex must monitor the activities in other cortical and sub...
متن کاملNeural circuitry of judgment and decision mechanisms.
Tracing the neural circuitry of decision formation is a critical step in the understanding of higher cognitive function. To make a decision, the primate brain coordinates dynamic interactions between several cortical and subcortical areas that process sensory, cognitive, and reward information. In selecting the optimal behavioral response, decision mechanisms integrate the accumulating evidence...
