Abstract

Resumen:

La neuropsicología ha tenido un explosivo crecimiento en las últimas décadas. Su aportación a campos como la psiquiatría ha tenido también un crecimiento exponencial. Respecto a la esquizofrenia existen numerosas investigaciones que han brindado una nueva visión acerca de la naturaleza de la enfermedad, aunque no exentas de contradicciones e interrogantes sin resolver. En el presente trabajo se exponen los hallazgos más relevantes respecto a la neuropsicología de la esquizofrenia (alteraciones neuroanatómicas, neurofuncionales, del neurodesarrollo, alteraciones en los neurotransmisores y déficits cognitivos), así como áreas cuya exploración es aún deficitaria.
