Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)

Studies of fMRI in Schizophrenia

As a neurodevelopmental disorder, schizophrenia impacts many aspects of cognitive and emotional functioning. Patients have particular difficulty on a number of measures in attention, problem solving, learning and memory, and emotional processing, in addition to less severe and more diffuse generalized dysfunction.

Ongoing Studies

• Electrophysiology of Stimulus Processing and Encoding in Schizophrenia.
• Physiologic brain responses from transcranial magnetic stimulation in schizophrenia and normal individuals.
