Paper: Interaction Testing and Polygenic Risk Scoring to Estimate the Association of Common Genetic Variants With Treatment Resistance in Schizophrenia (JAMA Psychiatry; Pardiñas et al., 2022) This paper by Pardiñas et al. attempts to find possible polymorphisms with which to estimate whether a patient diagnosed with schizophrenia may present treatment resistance (TRS, treatment resistant schizophrenia),…
Below you can see and download the posters of our group of PhD researchers at the 35th ECNP Congress in Vienna: Rosa M. Beño-Ruiz-de-la-Sierra: P.0180 The role of the corollary discharge mechanism in speech processing and its relation to selfexperiences in psychosis and bipolar disorder. Inés Fernández-Linsenbarth: P.0521 Clinical and biological substrates of cognitive subgroups…
Action planning and predictive coding when speaking (Wang et al., 2014). Sensations resulting from actions that the person himself has performed are processed differently from sensations coming from external sources, and self-generated sensations are suppressed. As we have discussed elsewhere, the reduction in the processing of one’s own speech is the result of the comparison…
Starting this afternoon, Friday 7 October, our conference on schizophrenia will be held once again. This year will focus specifically on the alterations in the self-experience in this illness. This field will be approached in a multidisciplinary way; from philosophy to neurobiology and clinical practice. We will count on relevant regional, national and international researchers…

Álvaro Díez Revuelta (thursday, april 7): Altered EEG activity at baseline during a P300 task and in the resting state in patients with schizophrenia. Are they comparable as a control condition? María Iglesias Tejedor: Resting State EEG Power and P300 Task Related Activity Modulation in the Theta Band in patients with Schizophrenia. Inés Fernández Linsenbarth:…
Follow-up of the “Self” project You can watch the video on our YouTube channel. In the development of this project we intend to evaluate the corollary discharge by means of a voice perception task. This mechanism allows us to distinguish between perceptions that are self-generated and those that come from external sources. In order to…
In today’s session we review two papers that study in a novel way the potential Frequency Following Response (FFR) in patients with schizophrenia with the aim also to test its capacity as a biomarker for procognitive therapies. The articles are as follows: “The viability of the frequency following response characteristics for the use as biomarkers…
Abstract article “Prevalence and assessment of self-disorders in the schizophrenia spectrum disorders: a systematic review a meta-analysis”.Doi: 10.1038/s41598-022-05232-9 Here is the video of the review (in Spanish). Self-disorders have been identified by several authors as central to psychotic disorders. The present paper reviews the existing evidence on the specificity of self disorders in patients with…
You can find the video of the review on our YouTube channel at this link. Review of the article from Kaster et al. (2015) titled “Clozapine potentiation of GABA mediated cortical inhibition in treatment resistant schizophrenia” in which the main objective was to measure transcranial magnetic stimulation indices of cortical inhibition over the motor cortex…
