Somewhere in the vast landscape of clinical and neuroscientific issues confronting the study of schizophrenia resides a humble question regarding the interface between social cognition and negative symptoms. A focus on this particular linkage sounds narrow, a little wonkish, and far removed from the high visibility concerns of other areas of schizophrenia research. However, any mechanistic attempt to understand how the brain connects to disability in schizophrenia will need to travel through this intersection between social cognition and negative symptoms. Thus, it is valuable and instructive that Pelletier-Baldelli and Holt have written a piece that focuses on these constructs and this particular association.¹ Their article raises several fundamental questions, a few of which I will discuss here.

从社会认知到精神分裂症的阴性症状：我们如何从这里到达那里？

在精神分裂症研究所面临的临床和神经科学问题的广阔前景中，某个地方存在着一个关于社会认知与消极症状之间的接口的谦虚问题。专注于这种特殊的联系听起来狭窄，有点怪异，并且与精神分裂症其他研究领域的高可见度关注点相去甚远。但是，任何旨在了解大脑如何与精神分裂症中的残疾联系起来的机械尝试都需要穿越社交认知与消极症状之间的这种交集。因此，Pelletier-Baldelli和Holt撰写了一篇侧重于这些构造和这种特定关联的文章，这是有价值和启发性的。¹他们的文章提出了几个基本问​​题，我将在这里讨论其中几个。
