PLOS Biology study links two brain process abnormalities to auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia.
A PLOS Biology study identifies two brain process abnormalities linked to auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia: a malfunctioning corollary discharge that fails to suppress self-generated sounds, and an overly sensitive efference copy that amplifies these sounds. Researchers observed that patients experiencing these hallucinations had impaired brain function compared to those who did not. Targeting these issues may pave the way for new treatment options beyond medication.
