In our latest group session, we presented the results of a study focused on preparatory brain activity and how it is altered in individuals with schizophrenia. Using electroencephalography (EEG) analysis, we explored the mechanisms of “corollary discharge,” which allow the brain to predict the sensations produced by our own actions. The Readiness Potential: The Prelude…

In our latest clinical and research meeting, we delved into a fascinating topic that is fundamental to understanding the subjective experience of psychotic spectrum disorders: Anomalous Self-Experiences (ASEs). Unlike traditional positive symptoms—such as hallucinations or delusions—these experiences affect the very structure of the “self” and the individual’s identity. What are Anomalous Self-Experiences?ASEs refer to subtle…

Link to video on the SUCEDE YouTube Channel In our most recent working session, Emma Osorio, a predoctoral researcher at SUCEDE, presented progress on the analysis of the Perturbational Complexity Index (PCI) as applied to the different cognitive biotypes we are identifying in our patients. The PCI is a measure of brain activity complexity that…

(2014): “Cortical Inhibition, Excitation, and Connectivity in Schizophrenia: A Combined TMS-EEG Study.” Understanding the pathophysiology of schizophrenia requires tools that…

To the entire scientific and academic community: We are pleased to announce an opportunity to pursue a PhD within our research group, SUCEDE (University of Valladolid / Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid). We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with a competitive academic record to apply for a PFIS predoctoral contract (4 years) funded by…

We are pleased to share some of the videos of the main presentations from the 7th Conference on Schizophrenia Updates – “La Marató” Project. We hope you enjoy them.

In our latest group meeting, the SUCEDE team gathered to analyze a study recently published in the prestigious journal Nature (within its specialized schizophrenia section). On this occasion, our colleague R. Beño led the session, presenting a paper that explores the complex relationship between neurotransmitter levels and electrophysiological markers within the psychosis spectrum. GABA Levels…

Video link @ SUCEDE YouTube Channel In our latest working session, the SUCEDE research group presented an update on the integrity of inhibitory circuits in patients with psychosis. By combining Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Electroencephalography (EEG), we are successfully “mapping” the neurochemical balance of the prefrontal cortex with unprecedented precision. The Challenge: Measuring GABA…
