Objective: To identify alterations in neural networks for visual motion perception and pursuit tracking and their interrelationship in schizophrenia, and secondarily to evaluate their comparability to findings in psychotic bipolar disorder. Design, setting and participants: Untreated first-episode patients with schizophrenia (N=24) and psychotic bipolar disorder (N=13), and 20 matched healthy participants performed a passive visual motion processing task and a pursuit eye tracking task, which patients have been shown to perform as well as healthy subjects, during functional neuroimaging. Available subjects were…
