AB  - Over the past 20 years, the advent of advanced techniques has significantly 
      enhanced our knowledge on the brain. Yet, our understanding of the physiological 
      and pathological functioning of the mind is still far from being exhaustive. Both 
      the localizationist and the reductionist neuroscientific approaches to 
      psychiatric disorders have proven to be largely unsatisfactory and are outdated. 
      Accruing evidence suggests that psychoanalysis can engage the neurosciences in a 
      productive and mutually enriching dialogue that may further our understanding of 
      psychiatric disorders. In particular, advances in brain connectivity research 
      have provided evidence supporting the convergence of neuroscientific findings and 
      psychoanalysis and helped characterize the circuitry and mechanisms that underlie 
      higher brain functions. In the present paper we discuss how knowledge on brain 
      connectivity can impact neuropsychoanalysis, with a particular focus on 
      schizophrenia. Brain connectivity studies in schizophrenic patients indicate 
      complex alterations in brain functioning and circuitry, with particular emphasis 
      on the role of cortical midline structures (CMS) and the default mode network 
      (DMN). These networks seem to represent neural correlates of psychodynamic 
      concepts central to the understanding of schizophrenia and of core 
      psychopathological alterations of this disorder (i.e., ego disturbances and 
      impaired primary process thinking).
