Functional and white matter abnormalities in the language network in patients with schizophrenia: A combined study with diffusion tensor imaging and functional magnetic resonance imaging

Our findings indicate a close relationship between diffusion and functional deficits in patients with schizophrenia, suggesting that WM integrity disturbance might be one cause of functional alterations in the language network in patients with schizophrenia. Thus, the present multimodal study improves our understanding of the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.
