Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Schizophrenia is associated with language-related cognitive dysfunction. Using high-resolution EEG and MEG, we demonstrated impaired frontotemporal cortical networks for automatic change detection of speech sounds in schizophrenia. Moreover, we found significantly smaller gray matter volume of left posterior superior temporal gyrus in first-episode patients with schizophrenia as compared with first-episode patients with affective psychosis and healthy subjects, which also significantly decreased over 1.5 years following onset. The language-related dysfunction in schizophrenia may be present at the early stage of auditory processing in the auditory cortex, and not just at stages involving higher-order semantic processes.
