Group SyNoPsis

Systems Neuroscience of Psychosis (SyNoPsis) is a research project aimed to map clinical symptoms of psychotic disorders onto anatomically organized brain systems with specific functions. It is based on a revised, neurobiologically informed psychopathology referring to behavioral domains matching three higher-order cortico-cortical and cortico-basal brain systems involved in language, emotional and executive functions. This allows falsifiable hypotheses about the link between brain activity and psychotic experience and behavior. The results have informed understanding and treatment of patients.
