Video (in Spanish) On October 30th, at our SUCEDE seminar, we dedicated the bibliographic session to a study that introduces a fundamental modification to the Corollary Discharge paradigm. As you know, we’ve been investigating Corollary Discharge as a key mechanism for action source attribution—that is, for distinguishing what we do ourselves from what occurs in…

Video of the meeting (in Spanish, English subtitles) Psychosis Biotypes: Why Neurobiology Trumps Clinical Labels In our last session, we dissected a fundamental article by the Clements Group (2019) that challenges the way we classify psychosis. The central thesis: traditional clinical diagnoses (like those in the D S M) generate great heterogeneity and overlap among…

On ivoox, Spotify and Amazon Recently, Professor Vicente Molina, Principal Investigator of our SUCEDE group, took part in a fantastic interview and conversation on the Psiquiatras CON ciencia podcast. The introduction, led by host José María Pelayo, took us back to the origins of the Electroencephalogram (EEG), a crucial technique in our work. He reminded…

Video of the meeting Ipseity in Schizophrenia: Towards a Definition of Valid Biotypes The recent doctoral thesis defense rehearsal, presented by Marta Hernández from the SUCEDE – Sustratos Cerebrales de la Psicosis (Cerebral Substrates of Psychosis) team, addresses a crucial paradigm shift in the study of schizophrenia. The work is titled “Neurocognitive assessment, anomalous self-experiences…

We attended the 38th Congress of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) | 11–14 October 2025 | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | with the following presentation: ‘Differences in resting-state spectral power between psychosis cognitive subgroups and healthy controls across frequency bands’ (Osorio-Iriarte et al., 2025)

Video of the meeting Uncovering Schizophrenia Biotypes: The Path to Therapeutic Precision The SUCEDE research group’s work has focused on breaking down the heterogeneity of schizophrenia by identifying distinct cerebral biotypes, aiming to overcome the limitations of symptom-only diagnoses. Early studies, dating back to 1996, observed that schizophrenia patients who responded effectively to the drug…

Video SUCEDE meeting (in Spanish) The Neurobiological Heterogeneity of Depression (SUCEDE Bibliographic Session)The premise of the session is that Major Depression (MD) is not a uniform illness. Its symptoms are highly heterogeneous, encompassing emotional categories (sadness, guilt), anxiety categories (rumination, irritability), and somatic categories (alterations in appetite, sleep, and energy). This symptomatic variety suggests that…

YouTube Video (in Spanish) Disconnection in Schizophrenia: The Key Lies in Brain Flexibility 🧠💡Our research group, SUCEDE, has reviewed years of pioneering work using Electroencephalography (EEG) and Neuropsychology to unravel the biological basis of Schizophrenia (SZ).The central finding is clear: schizophrenia appears to be a disorder of brain flexibility, manifested as a combination of basal…

YouTube video (in Spanish) In the field of psychiatry, a topic of constant debate has been the classification of schizophrenia. Is it a disease with a single symptom profile, or are there biologically distinct subtypes? The SUCEDE group reviewed an article that delves into this question, investigating whether auditory hallucinations, one of the most characteristic…

Video YouTube (in Spanish) At our kick-off meeting for the academic year, we’ve set the key goals that will guide our group’s work. A central focus is to deepen our understanding of psychosis biotypes, an effort to identify the underlying biological bases of this complex disorder. To advance this objective, we will continue to leverage…
