Hallucinations, neuroplasticity, and prediction errors in schizophrenia
Auditory hallucinations, a hallmark symptom of psychosis, are experienced by most people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia at some point in their illness. Auditory hallucinations can be understood as a failure in predictive coding, whereby abnormalities in sensory/perceptual processing combine with biased cognitive processes to result in a dampening of normal prediction error signaling. In this paper, we used a roving mismatch negativity (MMN) paradigm to optimize evaluation of prediction error signaling and short‐term neuroplasticity in 30 people with schizophrenia (n = 16 with and n = 14 without recent auditory halluci...

The right ‐side perceptual bias in aging determined in a laboratory setting and during a virtual driving task
Spatial perceptual rightward bias which was originally described in Dichotic Listening studies seems to be a general phenomenon. This bias is age dependent, being evident in children with developing executive functions, and emerging again at older age as a function of aging and the declining executive functions. In the two studies presented here we compared the performance of young and elderly adults in spatial divided attention tasks with auditory and visual stimuli when the stimulus detection performance was measured in separate sessions in a laboratory setting (Study I), to performance when the same types of stimuli wer...

How can genetics help understand the relationship between cognitive dysfunction and schizophrenia?
Despite the consistent finding that cognitive dysfunction is a core characteristic of schizophrenia (SCZ), little is known about the underlying pathophysiology. Recent progress in human genetics, driven by large genome‐wide association studies (GWAS), has provided new data about the genetic architecture of complex human traits, including cognition and SCZ. Novel analytical tools have provided unprecedented opportunities to leverage the large amount of information from GWAS. Here we review the latest findings related to genetic architecture and risk genes of SCZ and cognitive functions, and recent findings of overlapping ...
