Abstract
All the studies of this Doctoral Thesis share a common thread: the use of analyses based on graph-theory for enhancing the established knowledge about dynamical connectivity properties of noticeable neural assemblies and their abnormalities in schizophrenia. These studies are intended to be a starting point for a future breakthrough in the study of schizophrenia, in which subgroups inside of this disorder with unique and particular biological characteristics will be identified. The heterogeneity in schizophrenia is a reiterative finding in several studies. This may be a reason for obtaining, sometimes, contradictory results and hindering the replication of results with different databases.
