Summary
AI-generated from the abstractThis research examines the neural correlates of psychotic experiences in the general population, focusing on their salience. The study identifies brain activity patterns associated with subclinical psychotic symptoms, suggesting that these experiences involve altered processing in regions related to salience and attention. Findings indicate that even in non-clinical populations, psychotic-like experiences have measurable neural underpinnings.
