Neuropsychiatric Abnormalities: A New Vista From Studies on Fundamental Properties of Neural Communication

چکیده
In recent years, a number of researchers have suggested schizophrenia be viewed as a disorder of brain connectivity (e.g., Andreasen, 2000; Crow, 1998; Friston and Frith, 1995; Selemon and Goldman-Rakic, 1999). This view is intuitively appealing, as schizophrenia was conceptualized by Bleuler (1950) as a "splitting of the psychic functions" in which aspects of thought and personality were disintegrated.
