Abstract

Background: Impairment in episodic memory is one of the most robust findings in schizophrenia. Disruptions of fronto‐temporal functional connectivity that could explain some aspects of these deficits have been reported. Recent work has identified abnormal hippocampal function in unmedicated patients with schizophrenia (SZ), such as increased metabolism and glutamate content that are not always seen in medicated SZ. For these reasons, we hypothesized that altered fronto‐temporal connectivity might originate from the hippocampus and might be partially restored by antipsychotic medication. Methods: Granger causality methods were used to evaluate the effective connectivity between frontal and temporal regions in 21 unmedicated SZ and 20 matched healthy controls (HC) during performance of an episodic memory retrieval task. In 16 SZ, effective connectivity between these regions was evaluated before and after 1‐week of antipsychotic treatment. Results: In HC, significant effective connectivity originating from the right hippocampus to frontal regions was identified. Compared to HC, unmedicated SZ showed significant altered fronto‐temporal effective connectivity, including reduced right hippocampal to right medial frontal connectivity. After 1‐week of antipsychotic treatment, connectivity more closely resembled the patterns observed in HC, including increased effective connectivity from the right hippocampus to frontal regions. Conclusions: These results support the notion that memory disruption in schizophrenia might originate from hippocampal dysfunction and that medication restores some aspects of fronto‐temporal dysconnectivity. Patterns of fronto‐temporal connectivity could provide valuable biomarkers to identify new treatments for the symptoms of schizophrenia, including memory deficits.

  • Antipsychotic medication is associated with potential improvements in episodic memory and insight, which could facilitate autobiographical reasoning and narrative structure.

    “By contrast, antipsychotic medication is associated with potential improvements in episodic memory (Eitan et al., 1992; Hutcheson et al., 2015; Reilly et al., 2007) and improvements in insight, which could facilitate autobiographical reasoning and narrative structure (Bianchini et al., 2014).”

    From Narrative identity in the psychosis spectrum: A systematic review and developmental model (2021) · cites this paper as Hutcheson et al., 2015

    The Discussion reports changes in memory-network connectivity after risperidone and considers whether such changes might eventually be linked to improved memory. But the Results (Demographics and Behavioral Performance; page unavailable) state that no improvement in episodic-memory task performance was observed after one week. The insight and autobiographical-reasoning portion of the citing sentence is attributed to Bianchini et al., not to Hutcheson et al. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Antipsychotic medication is associated with impairments in working memory.

    “Antipsychotic medication is associated with impairments in working memory (Eitan et al., 1992; Hutcheson et al., 2015; Reilly et al., 2007), which could make it more difficult to hold autobiographical details in mind during autobiographical reasoning.”

    From Narrative identity in the psychosis spectrum: A systematic review and developmental model (2021) · cites this paper as Hutcheson et al., 2015

    The Results (Demographics and Behavioral Performance; page unavailable) assess episodic memory and report no improvement after one week of medication. The Discussion (page unavailable) likewise discusses episodic-memory scores and cognitive-test findings, but does not address whether antipsychotic medication is associated with working-memory impairments. A search for working memory and antipsychotic-related impairment found no passage establishing the claim. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
