Precuneus and insular hypoactivation during cognitive processing in first-episode psychosis: Systematic review and meta-analysis of fMRI studies
Abstract Introduction The neural correlates of the cognitive dysfunction in first-episode psychosis (FEP) are still unclear. The present review and meta-analysis provide an update of the location of the abnormalities in the fMRI-measured brain response to cognitive processes in individuals with FEP. Methods Systematic review and voxel-based meta-analysis of cross-sectional fMRI studies comparing neural responses to cognitive tasks between individuals with FEP and healthy controls (HC) according to PRISMA guidelines. Results Twenty-six studies were included, comprising 598 individuals with FEP and 567 HC. Individual studies reported statistically significant hypoactivation in the dorsolatera…
S68. UNALTERED FRONTAL AND PREFRONTAL BRAIN RESPONSE DURING WORK MEMORY TASKS IN PATIENTS WITH A FIRST EPISODE PSYCHOSIS META-ANALYSIS STUDY
BACKGROUND: There is extensive evidence that frontal and prefrontal cortex have abnormal functioning in patients with schizophrenia (Weinberger et al., 2001). For example, with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), multiple studies have shown altered activation during working memory tasks in these patients compared with controls (Adamczyk et al., 2017; Li et al., 2017). While most of the studies have been conducted in patients with chronic illness, whether these findings translate to individuals at the time of presenting with a First Episode Psychosis (FEP) is less well understood (Soldevila-Matias et al., 2018). The main objective of this study was to meta-analyze fMRI studies that…
