Auditory orienting and inhibition of return in schizophrenia: A functional magnetic resonance imaging study

► Patients had delayed inhibition of return (IOR) during auditory orienting. ► Results suggest prolonged attentional disengagement from cued locations in patients. ► Delayed IOR was associated with cognitive deficits in neuropsychological testing. ► fMRI results showed the characteristic activation of a frontoparietal network. ► Patients had no significant differences in functional activation during IOR.
