- A quantitative tool used by researchers to analyze brain connectivity and organization
- Can identity contributions of individual nodes and neural connections and takes into account the network’s global integration capacity

Graph Theory 

According to researchers’ findings, many characteristics of schizophrenia, specifically cognitive functioning, can be linked to an underlying problem in neural connectivity.

What Is Schizophrenia?

Peripheral inflammation and increased central immune system activation have been linked to poorer cognition function in individuals suffering from schizophrenia. However, the results from these studies are mixed and cannot provide conclusive evidence.

Neuroinflammation and Cognition

Researchers employ tools from computational neuroscience to understand the underlying mechanisms of cognitive impairments in schizophrenia.

Computational Modeling of Cognitive Processes


Regarding schizophrenia, the benefits of cognitive assessment via remote technology is uncertain.
