Reason for conflict related executive dysfunction in schizophrenia
Schizophrenia impairs reasoning and is linked to abnormal interactions between the prefrontal cortex and the mediodorsal thalamus.
The researchers use behavioral tasks and neuroimaging to uncover this connection, particularly when conflicting information is present.
Their findings may lead to biomarkers and future treatments targeting reasoning deficits in schizophrenia.
