Abstract
There appears to be a structural component in the task or symptom-related dysfunctional interactions between the frontal and more posterior cortical regions with preferential pathological involvement of frontotemporal and more limited involvement of frontoparietal and fronto-occipital systems in schizophrenia. Impaired regional associations within the frontal lobe, between left motor-premotor and Broca's areas, may play a role in language processing deficits in schizophrenia, while frontocingulate disconnection may result in working memory disturbances. Poor outcome may be associated with more widespread disconnections between prefrontal vs. cingulate and temporal regions in the left hemisphere, consistent with a disruption along the course of the left cingulum or uncinate bundles.
