We computed intrinsic neural timescales (INT) based on resting state functional magnetic
resonance imaging (rsfMRI) data of healthy controls (HC) and patients with schizophrenia
spectrum disorder (SZ) from three independently collected samples. Five clusters showed
decreased INT in SZ compared to HC in all three samples: Right occipital fusiform gyrus
(rOFG), Left superior occipital gyrus (lSOG), Right superior occipital gyrus (rSOG), Left
lateral occipital cortex (lLOC), and Right postcentral gyrus (rPG). In other words, it appears
that sensory information in visual and posterior parietal areas is stored for reduced lengths of
time in SZ compared to HC. We also found some evidence that symptom severity modulates
INT of these areas in SZ.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
