Mapping the brain to find out more about schizophrenia

Written by Beatrice Bowlby (Digital Editor)

Brain mapping reveals the circuitry involved in distinguishing self-generated sounds from external noises, advancing our understanding of human speech and auditory hallucinations.

Have you ever wondered how we distinguish self-generated sounds from external sounds? A team, led by researchers from NYU Langone Health, its Neuroscience Institute and NYU Tandon School of Engineering (all NY, USA), was curious, which led them to devise a study to investigate the underlying neural circuitry. Their work aims to advance our understanding of human speech and auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia, potentially leading to the development of noninvasive tests for individuals with schizophrenia.
