Dr. Thakkar's research focuses on disturbances in the sense of self are a defining feature of schizophrenia. Predictive brain mechanisms, including corrollary discharge signals that convey information about planned actions are thought to help the brain distinguish self-generated from external events. Thalamic pathways play a key role within this broader sensorimotor network. This talk will present behavioral and neuroimaging findings that examine how these predictive processes operate in psychosis and will consider how such mechanisms may provide a framework for understanding self-related experiences and symptoms.
