Schizophrenia provides valuable insights into the complexity of how identity and self-perception are maintained and processed in the brain. The condition offers parallels to the literal interpretation of the world often seen in children. 1. Fragmentation of Identity: - Schizophrenia can lead to fragmented thinking and perception, indicating that identity relies on the coherent integration of cognitive functions. This fragmentation may be due to changes in the prefrontal cortex and the default mode network. 2. Disruption of Self-Perception: - People with schizophrenia often experience disturbances in their sense of self, such as feeling disconnected from their own thoughts or actions. This suggests that the brain's ability to integrate sensory information and self-referential processing is impaired.
