Schizophrenia can alter a wide range of cognitive abilities, ranging from attention to memory to language production. schizophrenia has been associated with functional and anatomic disturbance in many different brain regions. but there may be no single cognitive ability or brain area that somehow holds the key to understanding schizophrenia. we have reviewed many articles that discussed about neural network theory and schizophrenic symptom. many authours conclude that schizophrenia originates from pathological interactions of brain areas and cognitive potentials. so we have reviewed in this article about PDP concept and brain functioning, computer simulations of PDP network, and interactional pathology in PDP network including relationship between schizophrenic symptoms and parasitic focus. and then, we described a theroy of dopamine function and its role in cognitive deficits in schizophrenia as an example case of PDP.
