People with Schizophrenia Show Distinct Brain Activity When Faced with Conflicting Information
Tufts University

In a study published November 7 in the journal Cell Reports Medicine, researchers from Tufts University School of Medicine and Vanderbilt University School of Medicine show that people with schizophrenia generate distinct neural patterns when asked to make decisions based on conflicting information. The work offers one of the first biological tests to assess whether someone is prone to inflexible thinking and, by monitoring changes in these patterns, a new way to measure whether treatments are working.
