This book provides a comprehensive review of new developments in
the study of language processing and related neural networks in
schizophrenia by addressing the complex link between
psychopathology, language and evolution at different levels of
analysis. Psychopathological symptoms in schizophrenia are mainly
characterized by thought and language disorders, which are strictly
intertwined. In particular, language is the distinctive dimension
of human beings and is ontologically related to brain development.
Although normal at the levels of segmental phonology and
morphological organization, the speech of patients suffering from
schizophrenia is often characterized by flattened intonation and
word-finding difficulties. Furthermore, research suggests that the
superior temporal gyrus and specific prefrontal areas which support
language in humans are altered in people with schizophrenia.
Brambilla and Marini bring together international contributors to
explore the link between brain evolution and the psychopathological
features of schizophrenia, with a focus on language and its neural
underpinnings. Divided into three sections the book covers: * brain
evolution and language phylogenesis * brain abnormalities in
schizophrenia * psychopathology and schizophrenia. This theoretical
approach will appeal to professionals including clinical
psychologists, cognitive neuroscientists, neuropsychiatrists,
neuropsychologists, neurolinguists, and researchers considering the
links between brain evolution, language and psychopathology in
schizophrenia.
