Abstract

Schizophrenia is often accompanied by a range of visual perception deficits, with many involving impairments in motion perception. The presence of perceptual abnormalities may impair neural processes that depend on normal visual analysis, which in turn may affect overall functioning in dynamic visual environments. Here, we examine the integrity of suppressive center-surround mechanisms in motion perception of schizophrenic patients. Center-surround suppression has been implicated in a range of visual functions, including figure-ground segregation and pursuit eye movements, visual functions that are impaired in schizophrenia. In control subjects, evidence of center-surround suppression is found in a reduced ability to perceive motion of a high-contrast stimulus as its size increases. This counterintuitive finding is likely a perceptual correlate of center-surround mechanisms in cortical area MT. We now show that schizophrenic patients exhibit abnormally weak center-surround suppression in motion, an abnormality that is most pronounced in patients with severe negative symptoms. Interestingly, patients with the weakest surround suppression outperformed control subjects in motion discriminations of large high-contrast stimuli. This enhanced motion perception of large high-contrast stimuli is consistent with an MT abnormality in schizophrenia and has a potential to disrupt smooth pursuit eye movements and other visual functions that depend on unimpaired center-surround interactions in motion.

  • Dakin's findings of decreased susceptibility to context-based illusions in schizophrenia were replicated using the same type of context-based illusion paradigms.

    “Dakin's findings were notably replicated using the same type of context-based illusion paradigms (Uhlhaas et al., 2004; Tadin et al., 2006; Chen et al., 2008)”

  • Patients with schizophrenia did not show the reduction in motion perception with increasing size of a high-contrast stimulus.

    “Whereas center-surround antagonism in control subjects resulted in reduced ability to perceive motion of a high-contrast stimulus as its size increased, patients with schizophrenia did not show this reduction in motion perception.”

  • A disruptive context has less influence on patients than on controls, arguing against nonspecific deficits or lack of attention as an underlying cause of differences.

    “Importantly, like Dakin et al. (27), these authors find that a disruptive context has less influence on patients than on controls, arguing against nonspecific deficits or lack of attention as an underlying cause of differences.”

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.
