Facial expression processing involves individual neural networks that have been shown to malfunction in schizophrenia. Whether these patients have a selective deficit in facial expression recognition or a more global impairm...

UNLABELLED Evidence suggests that facial emotion recognition is disturbed in schizophrenic patients however its nature has not been elucidated. Affect recognition is an important aspect of psychosocial functioning.

The dissociation has generated discussion regarding the potential existence of neural substrates dedicated to the recognition of facial signals of specific em...
