Schizophrenia: A disorder of affective consciousness

Research output: Contribution to journalEditorialAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

Behrendt & Young (B&Y) propose air explanation for schizophrenia in terms of a cortical default in the interaction between consciousness and cognition. However. schizophrenia more likely involves miscommunication between subcortical and cortical affective circuits in the brain, a default in the interaction between consciousness and emotion. The typical "affective" nature of hallucinations in schizophrenia provides compelling evidence for subcortical involvement.
