“…The fronto-temporal dysconnectivity idea is supported by electrophysiological studies showing reduced fronto-temporal connectivity during talking (Ford et al, 2010), and reduced synchrony during the prespeech phase (Ford et al, 2007) in people with schizophrenia, particularly in those with AVH. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies also showed a decreased connectivity between lateral frontal and the temporal areas in people with schizophrenia (Hubl et al, 2004;O'Daly et al, 2007;Li et al, 2010), also related to verbal learning (Karlsgodt et al, 2008;Hashimoto et al, 2010), verbal fluency capacity (Jeong et al, 2009) and hallucinations (Lawrie et al, 2002). Finally, computer simulations, verified by patient studies, showed that fronto-temporal dysconnectivity may result in erroneous word detection and spontaneous word generation (Hoffman and McGlashan, 1998;Hoffman, 1999).…”
