What parts of brain do not work in Schizophrenia?
I know like healthy humans we do have the brain structures but most of brain does not work and few parts of brain that work, work abnormally
it’s neuro transmitter problem
it’s brain wired differently problem
What’s your take on this topic?
There’s no “take on this topic” it’s hard science. Cerebral ventricles are often swollen between 5-15%, compressing gray matter (big uh-oh) and the rest is as follows: frontal lobe defect, impaired temporal lobe and thalamus, abnormal hippocampus (memory problem woohoo!)
Too many eliminated synapses are “pruned” which means destroyed during adolescence in the frontal lobe. Too little activity in left frontal lobe (avolition) too little in right lobe (disorganization).
Enlarged ventricles means squished temporal lobes, which means ■■■■■■ up language and visual processes, think hallucinations, and then a smaller thalamus which is responsible for sensory info, like attention problems and memory issues.
Hippocampus- storage and retrieval of info- ■■■■ is shrunken even in the schizers relatives.
Interactions between brain regions- all nicely ■■■■■■ up.
Facts!
Awesome post by mortimermouse. All required knowledge condensed into a single very informative post. Thanks a lot.
Nope.
I was possessed and then drugged for years, if do not take these drugs they will kill me.
And as we all know drugs do strange things to the brain.
They are studying the physical aspects of the effects on the brain from the possession and the years of drug intake.
years and years ago a big doctor talked to me about the impending sz I was headed for and said to the effect that you won’t find much wrong with the physical and that it is really psychologically based. this was prior to the recent take on sz which states it is bio.
he was trying to tell me to grab ahold of myself before gloom and doom which occurred anyways to me and I tried. Lord knows I tried and tried.
judy
@mortimermouse Any updated info?
I thought that this was pretty interesting.
Well, my previous post is as condensed as possible. Any more and it sounds like a duck quacking. I did write a 14 page term paper on schizophrenia. I could copy and paste it but that will be only if requested.
But most of the brain still works well. Question: And even the affected parts are functioning, if debilitated?
@mortimermouse, do you have any information about the eye movement differences (side to side motion in field of vision more or less rapid, inability to focus on object of make eye contact, “jumpy” vision from person’s description) and how or why they increase sometimes??
I wish I had the focus to read a 14 page paper from the computer screen…
Yes, I am aware of a little of that stuff, not much. Basically, quick eye movements called saccades are not normal in us. An example of a saccade is when you look from a person’s eye to their mouth to check their emotions and thoughts (we naturally do this, we especially look at the mouth when we find someone attractive). This is because we have relatively crappy feedback from the brain and also because of deficits in task management. That’s it as far as being clear and easily understood goes.
It then goes deep into neuroscience, which is some hard, heavy ■■■■. I was a neuro major my first year and switched to psychology. That’s how hard neuro is!
Thank you
