Temporal (EEG) and spatial (fMRI) aspects of functional brain dysfunctions in schizophrenic patients

Currently, there is evidence demonstrating that schizophrenia is an illness characterized by multiple deficits in cognitive processes such as attention and memory. It is assumed that these are the consequence of functional and anatomical variations especially comprising frontal and temporo-parietal brain regions as well as abnormal interactions between these areas. These variations may result in altered neuronal contribution of affected brain regions during cognitive processes not only concerning the intensity of neuronal reactivity but also regarding their temporal aspects. We simultaneously recorded ERP and fu…
