“…In later childhood and adulthood, disturbance of the paralimbic network is linked to severe pathology. Thus, deficient GABA neurotransmission is prominent in disorders with poor self-awareness and self-monitoring such as addiction (Lingford-Hughes et al, 2012Mick et al, 2017;Møller et al, 2019), autism (Hashemi et al, 2017), anosognosia, hallucinations, and delusions (Therriault et al, 2018), progressing to schizophrenia (Rikandi et al, 2018) major depression (Rikandi et al, 2018), and/or dementia (Lin et al, 2015).
