Psychosis, characterized by hallucinations and delusions, is a common feature of psychiatric disease, especially schizophrenia. One prominent theory posits that psychosis is driven by abnormal sensorimotor predictions leading to the misattribution of self- ...
2021Ultrahigh field in vivo characterization of microstructural abnormalities in the orbitofrontal cortex and amygdala in autism
Elda Fischi Gomez, Cristina Granziera, Nouchine Hadjikhani, Guillaume Bonnier
There are currently no biomarkers for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This neurodevelopmental condition has previously been associated with histopathological findings, including increased neuronal packing density in the amygdala, abnormal laminar cytoarchi ...
WILEY2021Long-term effects of early treatment with SSRIs on cognition and brain development in individuals with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome
Maude Schneider, Marie Schaer, Karin Bortolin
Cognitive deficits in individuals at risk of psychosis represent a significant challenge for research, as current strategies for symptomatic treatment are often ineffective. Recent studies showed that atypical cognitive development predicts the occurrence ...
SPRINGERNATURE2021EEG Spatiotemporal Patterns Underlying Self-other Voice Discrimination
Olaf Blanke, Pavo Orepic, Sixto Luis Alcoba Banqueri, Giannina Rita Iannotti, Thomas Koenig
There is growing evidence showing that the representation of the human “self” recruits special systems across different functions and modalities. Compared to self-face and self-body representations, few studies have investigated neural underpinnings specif ...
2021Amplified engagement of prefrontal cortex during control of voluntary action in Tourette syndrome
Sophie Jacqueline Andrée Betka
Tourette syndrome is characterized by 'unvoluntary' tics, which are compulsive, yet often temporarily suppressible. The inferior frontal gyms is implicated in motor control, including inhibition of pre-potent actions through influences on downstream subcor ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2020Hallucination Engineering: From Neuroscience Robotics to Hallucinations in Health and Disease
My thesis focuses on a psychotic symptom called the presence hallucination (PH). PHs are defined as the false perception that someone is nearby when no one is actually present. PHs can occur in various populations, ranging from healthy subjects (when expos ...
EPFL2020Developmental Trajectories of Cortical Thickness in Relation to Schizotypy During Adolescence
Investigating potential gray matter differences in adolescents presenting higher levels of schizotypy personality traits could bring further insights into the development of schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Research has yet to examine the morphological co ...
2020Unraveling neural and behavioral mechanisms of cognitive self-attenuation and alienation
The present thesis aimed at investigating behavioral and neural underpinnings of the mechanisms related to the different aspects of self-monitoring. The first aim was to study functional connectivity alterations related to the mechanisms accounting for the ...
EPFL2020An overlapping pattern of cerebral cortical thinning is associated with both positive symptoms and aggression in schizophrenia via the ENIGMA consortium
Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Wenhao Jiang
Background Positive symptoms are a useful predictor of aggression in schizophrenia. Although a similar pattern of abnormal brain structures related to both positive symptoms and aggression has been reported, this observation has not yet been confirmed in a ...
2020Partial-volume modeling reveals reduced gray matter in specific thalamic nuclei early in the time course of psychosis and chronic schizophrenia
Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Patric Hagmann, Kim Do, Mario Joao Fartaria de Oliveira, Elena Najdenovska, Zita Rovó
The structural complexity of the thalamus, due to its mixed composition of gray and white matter, make it challenging to disjoint and quantify each tissue contribution to the thalamic anatomy. This work promotes the use of partial-volume-based over probabi ...
