Impaired top-down processes in schizophrenia: A DCM study of ERPs
Abstract
Perception is not simply based on a hierarchical organization of the brain; it arises from an interplay between inputs from the environment and internal predictions of these inputs. It is an active process which involves an interaction between bottom-up information coming from the senses and feedback connections coming from higher-order cortical areas. In our experiment, we use the hollow-mask illusion to investigate the strength of top-down processes in schizophrenic patients and healthy controls. By using dynamic causal modelling (DCM) on functional magnetic resonance tomography (fMRI) data, we have presented evidence to suggest that patients with schizophrenia are less constrained by top-down processes during perception (Dima, D., Roiser, J.P., Dietrich, D.E., Bonnemann, C., Lanfermann, H., Emrich, H.M., Dillo, W., 2009. Understanding why patients with schizophrenia do not perceive the hollow-mask illusion using dynamic causal modeling. Neuroimage 46, 1180-1186). In this study, we re-address this issue by using DCM on event-related potentials (ERPs) data. Our aim was to validate our previous findings by conducting the same connectivity analysis--DCM--on data obtained from a different neuroimaging method. Our results confirm our initial hypothesis that top-down influences are constrained in schizophrenia, especially in perceptual tasks that require top-down control, like the hollow-mask illusion.

In the citing paper
“While a model that places connectivity modulation from the higher-level areas to the primary visual cortex (i.e., V1) better accounted for healthy control data, the DCM revealed a reverse pattern in schizophrenia patients (i.e., the predominance of the feedforward modulation).”

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.
