Two key brain systems are central to psychosis, study finds

The study explores the brain mechanisms behind psychosis, revealing malfunctioning "filter" and "predictor" systems, leading to hallucinations and delusions.

Using brain scans from individuals with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and psychosis, the research confirms existing theories and identifies specific brain regions involved.

Insights may inform early interventions and treatment strategies, potentially preventing or delaying the onset of psychosis and enhancing understanding and empathy towards individuals with the condition.
