Auditory Hallucinations in Psychosis:聽Brain Imaging to Develop Novel Treatments
Auditory hallucinations are a severe and debilitating symptom in psychotic disorders (such as schizophrenia) that affect over 70% of individuals and are sometimes resistant to antipsychotic medication. Using brain imaging methods including MRI, electroencephalography, and magnetoencephalography, several brain regions appear to be related to hearing voices. These findings will be presented, as well as new experimental non-invasive brain stimulation treatments targeting these areas that appear to reduce auditory hallucinations.
