The little voice inside our head, or inner speech, is a common everyday experience. It plays
a central role in human consciousness at the interplay of language and thought. An …

Activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging data was used to
investigate the neural mechanisms underlying auditory-verbal and visual hallucinations …

Objective: Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) constitute severe, incapacitating symptoms
of schizophrenia. Despite increasing interest in the functional exploration of AVHs, the …

Hallucinations remains one of the most intriguing phenomena in psychopathology. In the
past two decades the advent of neuroimaging techniques have allowed researchers to …

Spontaneous low-frequency fluctuations in the blood oxygen level–dependent (BOLD)
functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal have been shown to reflect neural …

The meanings and causes of hearing voices that others cannot hear (auditory verbal
hallucinations, in psychiatric parlance) have been debated for thousands of years. Voice …

Background The origin of auditory hallucinations, which are one of the core symptoms of
schizophrenia, is still a matter of debate. It has been hypothesized that alterations in …

The pathophysiology of auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) is largely unknown. Several
functional imaging studies have measured cerebral activation during these hallucinations …

BACKGROUND: Schizophrenia has been conceptualized as a disorder of integration of
neural activity across distributed networks. However, the relationship between specific …

Hearing voices when nobody speaks or seeing objects no one else sees--hallucinations are
intriguing phenomena that have puzzled clinicians, researchers, and lay people alike for …
