A Neural Model of the Loss of Self in Schizophrenia

摘要: Numerous researchers have pointed out over the last decades that there is a loss of sense inner self in schizophrenia. In particular, illuminating article Sass et al. gives an underpinning explanation disease along these lines each its 3 manifestations, with positive, negative, or disordered symptoms. The crucial component analysis various disturbances ipseity (the ongoing "being there" accompanying all conscious experience) can occur for sufferer, giving framework which to understand disease. Such analyses schizophrenia terms distortions go back much earlier. However, more recent work has become precise and embracing seeing most forms as arising from such distortions. It also provides new ways looking at diagnosing this we propose move whole closer into brain itself by means CODAM neural network model consciousness (where acronym "COrollary Discharge Attention Movement" creation, be described later). This allows both mechanism formulated basic brain-based cause (with varieties correlated main it) well open up possible research followed help ameliorate attention defects exposed approach.
