Agency Deficits in a Human Genetic Model of Schizophrenia: Insights From 22q11DS Patients

Olaf Blanke, Maude Schneider, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Roy Salomon, Oliver Alan Kannape, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Henrique Galvan Debarba

Schizophrenia is a chronic and disabling mental illness characterized by a disordered sense of self. Current theories suggest that deficiencies in the sense of control over one’s actions (Sense of Agency, SoA) may underlie some of the symptoms of schizophr ...

Manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging investigation of the Interferon-α model of depression in rats

Alessandro Daducci

Therapeutic effects of Interferon-α (IFN-α are known to be associated with CNS toxicity in humans, and in particular with depression symptoms. Animal models of IFN-α-induced depression (sickness behaviour) have been developed in rodents using various prepa ...

Polariton Condensation in a One-Dimensional Disordered Potential

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Vincenzo Savona, Konstantinos Lagoudakis, Barbara Pietka, Francesco Manni, Luca Fontanesi

We study the coherence and density modulation of a nonequilibrium exciton-polariton condensate in a one-dimensional valley with disorder. By means of interferometric measurements we evidence a modulation of the ﬁrst-order coherence function and we relate i ...

Statistics of resonances in a semi-infinite disordered chain

Hervé Kunz

We study the average density of resonances (DOR) for a semi-infinite disordered chain, coupled to the outside world by a (semi-infinite) perfect lead. A set of equations is derived, which provides the general framework for calculating the average DOR, for ...

Correlation amplitude and entanglement entropy in random spin chains

Nicolas Laflorencie

Using strong-disorder renormalization group, numerical exact diagonalization, and quantum Monte Carlo methods, we revisit the random antiferromagnetic XXZ spin-1/2 chain focusing on the long-length and ground-state behavior of the average time-independent ...
