CLAUSTROFUNCT Claustrum function in cortical processing and putative claustral dysfunction in schizophrenia

Coordinator: UNIVERSITE DE GENEVE (CH)

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disease having an incidence of 1% worldwide. Its symptoms are numerous and range from hallucinations to altered executive functions. Although the exact causes of schizophrenia are unknown, several works suggest that impaired communication between higher cortical centers may be important for the expression of the disease. Establishing a causal link between circuit function (and/or dysfunction) and particular behavioral traits relevant to schizophrenia may shed new light on the mechanisms underlying the pathology.Dysfunction of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) may c…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €5.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2020-06-01 to 2026-05-31.
