C. Wolf:

R. Christian Wolf from ZI-HUb was recently informed that his German-Russian cooperation project „Neural mechanisms of delusions: towards a transnosological model“ will be funded by the DFG-RFBR program, WO 1883/13-1, EUR 208.000. The collaboration between the Department of General Psychiatry, Heidelberg University, the Department of Psychiatry and Psychosomatics, I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University and the Mental Health Research Center Moscow seeks, for the first time, to comprehensively characterize delusion-specific neural mechanisms within the schizophrenia-spectrum using multimodal neuroimaging and advanced computational data analysis techniques. The existing clinical data base of patients with persistent delusions, as provided by the Russian partner, is the largest in Europe, if not worldwide. Insights gained from this collaborative project are of transdiagnostic relevance, as much as they can decisively reshape dimensional models of delusion formation.  

In excellent accordance with ZI-HUbs approach to understand, prevent and treat mental illness, the transdiagnostic perspective taken by this collaborative project will decisively reshape dimensional models of delusional belief in psychotic disorders and beyond.  Given the poor clinical response to conventional treatment modalities in patients with persistent delusions, this project will also seek to determine neural targets that may inform novel personalized treatment strategies for enduring psychotic symptoms.
