Aberrant attentive and inattentive brain activity to auditory negative words and its relation to persecutory delusion in patients with schizophrenia

摘要

Background and purposePrevious research has suggested that deficits in emotion recognition are involved in the pathogenesis of persecutory delusion in schizophrenia. Although disruption in auditory and language processing is crucial in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, the neural basis for the deficits in emotion recognition of auditorily presented language stimuli and its relation to persecutory delusion have not yet been clarified.
