In particular, by combining a variety of different neuroimaging modalities, it has been shown that psychotic states and the actual transition phase from a clinical high-risk state to established psychosis is characterized by structural, functional and neurochemical changes across different brain regions.Further evidence revealed that maybe not only focal brain abnormalities are characteristic for psychosis but specifically also an abnormal functional integration among various brain areas. Some evidence also suggests that dysfunctional brain connectivity proceeds during the development of psychosis when subjects perform a cognitive task. Notably, altered brain connectivity during cognitive challenges was often found to be associated with psychopathological measures, suggesting a mechanistic relation between functional network integrity and the clinical expression of psychosis ... In this research topic, we like to cover the most recent neurobiological correlates for early stage psychosis and in particular for the prediction of psychosis by using different neurophysiological measures (e.g. structural and functional MRI, EEG, DTI or PET). Studies exploring effective connectivity or complex brain networks such as small-world properties with techniques like dynamic causal modelling, structural equation modelling, or graph theory analysis are highly appreciated. Very welcome are studies proving a link between clinical features such as psychopathology and cognition, brain signals, and chemistry (also in regard of antipsychotic treatments or substance-induced psychotic states). Moreover, environmental factors that may influence psychosis onset or its’ developmental processes will be brought together with a diversity of different research modalities. We also collect critical reviews, mini-reviews or theoretical reflections from leading international researcher and clinicians in this field. The purpose of our research topic is intended to provide a state-of-the-art cognitive perspective to consider developing psychosis, which might shed more lights into the pathophysiological and neurobiological mechanisms of psychosis.Frontiers research topics.Frontiers in psychiatry.PsychosesPhysiological aspectsNeuropsychiatryResearchPsychosesPhysiological aspects.NeuropsychiatryResearch.Schmidt AndréBorgwardt StefanFrontiers Research Foundation,UkMaJRUBOOK9910136408403321Neuropsychopharmacology of psychosis2122433UNINA10999nam 2200829 450 991020882690332120220817142734.01-4443-9540-81-283-40826-01-4443-6177-51-4443-9538-61-78268-539-11-118-79944-59786613408266(CKB)3710000000412618(MiAaPQ)EBC693787(WaSeSS)IndRDA00116585(CaSebORM)9781444395396(MiAaPQ)EBC4042009(Au-PeEL)EBL4042009(CaPaEBR)ebr11114738(CaONFJC)MIL340826(OCoLC)729726259(MiAaPQ)EBC6817970(Au-PeEL)EBL6817970(EXLCZ)99371000000041261820220817d2011 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe handbook of political economy of communications /edited by Janet Wasko, Graham Murdock, and Helena Sousa1st editionChichester, England ;Malden, Massachusetts :Wiley-Blackwell,[2011]©2011xiv, 611 pGlobal handbooks in media and communication researchIncludes indexes.1-4051-8880-4 1-4443-9539-4 Includes bibliographical references and indexes.Intro -- Series page -- Title page -- Copyright -- Notes on Contributors -- Series Editor's Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction: The Political Economy of Communications -- What is Critical Political Economy? -- Why Political Economy?
