Are Linguistic and Motricity domains intertwined in Schizophrenia? A preliminary analysis.

Introduction The disruption of minimal Self is believed to be a core element Schizophrenia and intimately connected bodily self, which in turn leads impairments intersubjectivity dimension. Motor abnormalities have been associated since the early conceptualization disorder, as well inefficient body-related multisensory integration processes are considered nowadays plausible origin disembodied Self. In particular, there evidence for significant Peripersonal Space (PPS) extension patients. PPS plastic sector space immediately surrounding our body, whose coherent representation based on efficient processes. With specific experimental task processing, we estimated size boundary’s demarcation 27 patients, confirming narrower weaker boundary thus paving way deeper investigation mechanisms underlying self (Ferroni et al., Schziophr.Bull.2022, 5 1085-1093). We suggest that disembodiment might responsible loss immediate linkage between others (“intercorporeality”), so linking corporeal dimension anomalies Since language one most important instrument through unfolds, it intriguing hypothesize connection multi-sensory processing. Objectives Therefore, present study was aimed at investigating possible correlations patients’ motor their alterations communicative interactions. Methods Twenty-five outpatients were recruited an extension; they administered Scale Assessment Thought, Language Communication (TLC) Clinical Disorder Rating (CLANG). Results Our data showed TLC CLANG total scores size, with more severe formal thought disorders higher communication impairments. Conclusions preliminary results seem confirm presence link impairment suggesting linguistic disorganization may common has yet explored depth. Future research needed identify endophenotypic patterns, potentially intertwined each other, capable predicting development usable diagnostic tools. Disclosure Interest None Declared
