Italian researchers discovered a brain network in prefrontal/retrosplenial cortices for emotion recognition, potentially aiding therapeutic strategies for schizophrenia and autism.
Researchers at Italy's Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia discovered a brain network in the prefrontal and retrosplenial cortices that allows animals and humans to recognize emotions. This network, involved in socio-cognitive processes, has not been studied before. The findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, could lead to new therapeutic strategies for conditions like schizophrenia and autism, where social functions are impaired.
