Negative symptom formation in schizophrenia: An electrophysiological, neurophysiological and computational modelling investigation

精神分裂症的阴性症状和认知症状与更广泛认可的阳性症状（如幻觉和妄想）一样，被认为是致残的。最近有人提出，精神分裂症的阴性症状可能是由奖惩学习的改变引起的。该项目将应用计算模型研究精神分裂症患者在奖惩学习任务中的大脑活动。

The Negative and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia have been recognised as being just as disabling as the more widely recognised positive symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions. Recently it has been proposed that negative symptoms in schizophrenia might be caused by alterations in learning from rewards and punishments. This project will investigate brain activity in people with schizophrenia during reward and punishment based learning tasks while applying computational modelling.
