METHODS A total of 18 families with 40 affected members in two successive generations were evaluated by interviewing them for their ages at the onset of the first symptom of BS and for their ages at the time they fulfilled the diagnostic criteria.

BACKGROUND Understanding and anticipating others' mental or emotional states relies on the processing of social cues, such as dynamic facial expressions. Individuals with high-functioning autism (HFA) may process these cues differently from individuals with typical development (TD) and purportedly use a 'mechanistic' rather than a 'mentalistic' approach, involving rule- and contingency-based in...

We study the large-time behavior of systems driven by radial potentials, which react to anticipated positions, \(\mathbf{x}^\tau (t)=\mathbf{x}(t)+\tau \mathbf{v}(t)\), with anticipation increment \(\tau >0\). As a special case, such yield celebrated Cucker–Smale model for alignment, coupled pairwise interactions. Viewed from this perspective, anticipation-driven are expected emerge into flocki...

A range of emotional and motivation impairments have long been clinically documented in people with schizophrenia, and there has been a resurgence of interest in understanding the psychological and neural mechanisms of the so-called "negative symptoms" in schizophrenia, given their lack of treatment responsiveness and their role in constraining function and life satisfaction in this illness.
