TLDR
Both schizophrenic patients and their relatives show altered task-related deactivation in the medial frontal cortex, which suggests that default mode network dysfunction may function as a trait marker for schizophrenia.Abstract:
Background. Functional imaging studies in relatives of schizophrenic patients have had inconsistent findings, particu-larly with respect to altered dorsolateral prefrontal cortex activation. Some recent studies have also suggested that failureof deactivation may be seen.Method. A total of 28 patients with schizophrenia, 28 of their siblings and 56 healthy controls underwent functionalmagnetic resonance imaging during performance of the n-back working memory task. An analysis of variance wasfitted to individual whole-brain maps from each set of patient–relative–matched pair of controls. Clusters of significantdifference among the groups were then used as regions of interest to compare mean activations and deactivations amongthe groups.Results. In all, five clusters of significant differences were found. The schizophrenic patients, but not the relatives,showed reduced activation compared with the controls in the lateral frontal cortex bilaterally, the left basal gangliaand the cerebellum. In contrast, both the patients and the relatives showed significant failure of deactivation comparedwith the healthy controls in the medialfrontal cortex, with the relatives also showing less failure than the patients. Failureof deactivation was not associated with schizotypy scores or presence of psychotic-like experiences in the relatives.Conclusions. Both schizophrenic patients and their relatives show altered task-related deactivation in the medial frontalcortex. This in turn suggests that default mode network dysfunction may function as a trait marker for schizophrenia.Received 29 April 2013; Revised 4 September 2014; Accepted 9 September 2014Key words: Default mode network, endophenotype, fMRI, schizophrenia, working memory.read more

Imagination in human social cognition, autism, and psychotic-affective conditions.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that imagination, especially social imagination as embodied in the default mode human brain network, mediates risk and diametric dimensional phenotypes of autism and psychotic-affective conditions.

TL;DR: Diametric disorders are important to recognize because genotypes or environmental factors that increase risk for one set of disorders protect from opposite disorders, thereby providing novel and direct insights into disease causes, prevention and therapy.

TL;DR: Findings demonstrate that differential patterns of dysconnectivity exist in SCZ patients, which may contribute differently to the interpersonal difficulties commonly observed in the disorder.

TL;DR: It is suggested that altered FPCN activation in patients reflects performance difference, and that limbic and thalamic dysfunction is critically involved in WM deficits in schizophrenia.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a simple FDR controlling procedure for independent test statistics can also control the false discovery rate when test statistics have positive regression dependency on each of the test statistics corresponding to the true null hypotheses.

The Brain's Default Network Anatomy, Function, and Relevance to Disease
TL;DR: Past observations are synthesized to provide strong evidence that the default network is a specific, anatomically defined brain system preferentially active when individuals are not focused on the external environment, and for understanding mental disorders including autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease.
