• TITLE: Schizophrenia, When the Murmuration Stops

  ABSTRACT: This article explores the concept of schizophrenia as a collapse of coordination and smoothness in brain function. The absence of murmuration leads to symptoms such as illogical verbal function, social disconnectedness, and inappropriate responses to environmental demands. Current treatment options are limited to electroshock therapy and medications like Clozaril, which have significant drawbacks. Future potential cures may involve genetic engineering, but this approach poses social, philosophical, and moral challenges.
