Neurociencias Cognitivas y Neuropsicología de la Esquizofrenia

Cognitive neuroscience has historically worked hand in hand with disciplines such as psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, and, of course, neuropsychology, for the rigorous and scientific study of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is one of the most challenging conditions within the academic community of health sciences, as very few advances have been made in slowing its progression or curing it. The objective of this review study was to conduct a comprehensive sweep of data from the last decade to compile a theoretical framework of the main developments and progress in schizophrenia research. The study found that the most sophisticated advances continue to be in diagnostic tools, refining and improving these tools to achieve the highest levels of sensitivity. This research concludes that, although many scientific disciplines are involved in the study of schizophrenia, the reality is that we have become overwhelmed with predictive tests and examinations in addition to diagnoses, and very little progress has been made in finding a definitive cure for schizophrenia, so the emergence of new paradigms and disciplines is required, capable of giving a different approach to this condition.
