Access to the video of the session In the study of schizophrenia spectrum disorders, one of the most established neurophysiological paradigms is the impairment of corollary discharge. Under normal physiological conditions, when we speak or perform an action, the brain sends an efferent motor-to-sensory signal that attenuates the response of the auditory cortex—reflected in a…

Access to the video session The clinical heterogeneity of psychotic disorders constitutes one of the greatest challenges in current Psychiatry and biomedical Neuroscience. Facing traditional nosological classifications based solely on phenotypic symptomatology, the SUCEDE Research Group has consolidated a central hypothesis: the existence of distinct biotypes underlying what we generically diagnose as psychosis. In the…

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…
