The cognitive neuropsychiatric approach to investigating the neurobiology of schizophrenia and other disorders.
In this paper, we examine a cognitive neuropsychiatric approach to understanding neuropsychiatric disorders by examining recent data in schizophrenia. By understanding and applying this approach, we suggest that the processes underlying the neurobiology of a range of other psychiatric disorders can be understood. Further, an assessment of the brain-behaviour relationships through this emerging discipline provides testable models for further study, using a range of techniques including functional and other imaging techniques.
