Abstract: Disturbances in selective attention represent a core characteristic of schizophrenia, whose neural underpinnings have yet to be fully elucidated. Consequently, we recorded brain activation using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while 15 patients with schizophrenia and 15 age-matched controls performed a well-established measure of selective attention-the color Stroop negative priming task. We focused on two aspects of performance: overriding pre-potent responses (Stroop effect) and inhibition of prior negatively primed trials (negative priming effect). Behaviorally, controls demonstrated both significant Stroop and negative priming effects, while schizophrenic subjects only showed the Stroop effect. For the Stroop effect, fMRI indicated significantly greater activation in frontal regions-medial frontal gyrus/anterior cingulate gyrus and middle frontal gyrus for controls-but greater activation in medial parietal regions (posterior cingulate gyrus/precuneus) for patients. Negative priming elicited significant activation in right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for both groups, but also in left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for patients. These different patterns of fMRI activation may reflect faulty interaction in schizophrenia within networks of brain regions that are vital to selective attention.

The negative priming paradigm: An update and implications for selective attention
TL;DR: It is argued that the paradigm – although it does not measure a single cognitive process alone – is still a useful tool for understanding selection in cognition and that research on NP is relevant for all research fields analyzing selection.
Impulsivity in schizophrenia: A comprehensive update
TL;DR: The lack of agreement in the conceptualization and measurement of impulsivity is reviewed and the latest evidence that impulsivity may have an important role in the etiology of substance use, aggression, violence, and suicide in schizophrenia is reviewed.

Clarifying inhibitory control: Diversity and development of attentional inhibition
TL;DR: Results provide converging evidence for the automatic-effortful taxonomy – a distinction masked when the contribution of attention is ignored – and highlight problems of isolated task-based characterizations of inhibition without a theoretical foundation.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to gain insight into the health of GLU neurotransmission and the GLU-GLN cycle in SZ using a 1H-fMRS protocol and to elucidate the glutamatergic response to functional activation in schizophrenia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a general approach that accommodates most forms of experimental layout and ensuing analysis (designed experiments with fixed effects for factors, covariates and interaction of factors).
Conflict monitoring and cognitive control.
TL;DR: Two computational modeling studies are reported, serving to articulate the conflict monitoring hypothesis and examine its implications, including a feedback loop connecting conflict monitoring to cognitive control, and a number of important behavioral phenomena.

Functional connectivity in the resting brain: A network analysis of the default mode hypothesis
TL;DR: This study constitutes, to the knowledge, the first resting-state connectivity analysis of the default mode and provides the most compelling evidence to date for the existence of a cohesive default mode network.
The precuneus: a review of its functional anatomy and behavioural correlates.
TL;DR: A useful conceptual framework is provided for matching the functional imaging findings with the specific role(s) played by this structure in the higher-order cognitive functions in which it has been implicated, and activation patterns appear to converge with anatomical and connectivity data in providing preliminary evidence for a functional subdivision within the precuneus.
Searching for a baseline: Functional imaging and the resting human brain
TL;DR: This work explores the possibility that there might be a baseline or resting state of brain function involving a specific set of mental operations, including the manner in which a baseline is defined and the implications of such a baseline for the understanding ofbrain function.
