Description of the research topic:

Mentalization is the ability to attribute mental states (intentions, desires, beliefs, emotions) to others and oneself. Recently, significant efforts have been made to clarify the neurobiological background of mentalization. More and more data is available regarding the brain structures responsible for mentalization, but data is also increasing in respect of the underlying neurotransmission dysfunction. It is well known that significant neurobiological abnormalities are present in schizophrenia, and these abnormalities may play a role in the development of mentalization deficits, and later in the further deterioration of these skills. The aim of the PhD work is to study the neurobiological differences characteristic for schizophrenia in the light of the mentalization skills.
