Neural correlates

• What part of the brain is involved with reward anticipation?

  Ventral striatum
• How does less activity in the ventral striatum explain SZ?

  The lower the activity, the more severe the symptoms
• Enlarged _______ leads to SZ?

  Ventricles (fluid filled gaps between brain area)
• Who found SZ patients have enlarged ventricles?

  Johnstone (1976)
• Who found enlarged ventricles are only associated with negative symptoms?

  Weyandt (2006)
• What is good about neural explanations for SZ?

  High reliability as use of fMRIs
• What is bad about neural explanations?

  Hard determinist approach, as if the brain area is a certain way they cannot change the fact they will get SZ
