Description of the research topic:

Mentalization is the ability to attribute mental states (intentions, desires, beliefs, emotions) to others and oneself. According to the imaging studies of the recent years it seems clear which brain structures and neuronal networks are involved in mentalization. However, only few data are available on the connection of the pathological functioning of these brain networks and the appearance of the mentalization deficits. Schizophrenia is characterised by both neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative processes resulting in brain abnormalities that could affect the proper functioning of mentalization skills. The aim of the PhD work is to study the structural and functional brain abnormalities responsible for the mentalization deficits in schizophrenia.
