O6.2. neurobiology of psychometric schizotypy: insights from multimodal imaging research

DiscussionCollectively, these results are in line with a dimensional view of psychosis by suggesting that interactions between brain structure, neurochemistry, and functional response to emotion within a corticolimbic circuit are involved in the expression of psychotic-like experiences at non-clinical and clinical levels. These findings may also serve as evidence of potentially protective mechanisms, as our studies involved high-functioning individuals with HS and some of the observed effects are opposite to what would have been predicted from studies in clinical groups.
