The different aspects of the neurobiology of psychotic disorders are presently discussed under the perspective of Arvid Calssons neurochemical theory of mesolimbic/cortico-thalamic loops. In this regard the question as to whether - neuropsychologically - a ”filter-defect” or a disturbance of ”internal censorship” is causative for psychoses. This topic is discussed in the present paper.
