从时空精神病理学看大脑是如何与精神病理症状联系起来的

The Link Between Brain and Symptoms in the Perspective of Spatiotemporal Psychopathology

  • 摘要: 我们是如何描述精神病理症状并将其与大脑联系起来的?目前,大部分关于精神病理症状的研究通常只关注症状本身或主要关注大脑,却忽略了精神病理症状与大脑的密切联系。而时空精神病理学(Spatiotemporal Psychopathology,SPP)提供了一种新的方法去研究精神病理症状与大脑的关系,它假设:大脑神经活动的内部时空组织为精神病理症状提供了时空组织。具体而言,大脑的神经拓扑性质和时间动态特征或多或少表现出与心理层面类似的时空组织,即心理拓扑性质和动态特征。重度抑郁症、双相情感障碍、精神分裂症和自闭症等精神疾病的研究均提供了强有力的证据支持这一假设。因此,我们得出结论,时空精神病理学为探索大脑和精神病理症状的密切联系提供了一种有前景的方法。

     

    Abstract: How can we characterize psychopathological symptoms and connect them to the brain? Current psychopathological symptoms only focus on either the symptoms themselves or predominantly on the brain. This leaves open their intimate connection. A novel approach, spatiotemporal psychopathology, proposes that the brain inner spatiotemporal organization of its neural activity provides the spatiotemporal organization of the psychopathological symptoms. Specifically, the brains' neuronal topography and dynamic is manifest in a more or less analogous spatiotemporal organization on the mental level, i. e., mental topography and dynamic. This is strongly supported by various examples including major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and autism. We therefore conclude that spatiotemporal psychopathology provides a promising approach to intimately connect brain and symptoms.
