Cognitive Disorganization in Hippocampus: A Physiological Model of the Disorganization in Psychosis

Cognitive disorganization in hippocampus: a physiological model of the disorganization in psychosis.

Cognitive coordination refers to processes that organize the timing of activity among neurons without altering individual discharge properties. Coordinating processes allow neural networks to coactivate related representations and prevent the coactivation of unrelated representations. Impaired cognitive coordination, also called cognitive disorganization, is hypothesized to be the core deficit ...

The cognitive basis of disorganization symptomatology in schizophrenia and its clinical correlates: toward a pathogenetic approach to disorganization.

This article focuses on the schizophrenic disorganization syndrome, which was initially described by Bleuler (who used the term "dissociation") as lying at the heart of schizophrenia. While adopting a neo-Bleulerian approach, we describe schizophrenic disorganization using a pathogenetic hypothesis and a three-part structure. First, we discuss previous approaches to characterizing and defining ...

Tapetum disorganization in taurine-deplet-

A severe disorganization of the lattice arrangement of tapetal rods occurs in cats nutritionally deprived of taurine. This is the first reported example of a nutritionally related degeneration of tapetal cells. The tapetal cell degeneration, along with the previously noted photoreceptor degeneration in taurine-depleted cats, suggests that taurine plays a vital role in maintaining the structural...

The disorganization of behaviour in fatigue.

MANY studies of mental fatigue have been governed by the expectation that its effects were to be found in a decline in the quantity or quality of the output, and tests have been employed in them involving the repetition of elementary operations. Bartlett (1943) contended, however, that effects related to real life were to be found in the disorganization of skilled activities, of which the work ...
