Abstract:Background: A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment in schizophrenia is imperative, as it causes poor functional outcomes and a lack of effective treatments. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the relationships of two proposed main pathophysiology of schizophrenia, altered prefrontal–striatal connectivity and the dopamine system, with cognitive impairment and their interactions. Methods: Thirty-three patients with schizophrenia and 27 healthy controls (HCs) who are right-han… Show more
