Hum Brain Mapp 2009 [Epub ahead of print] This study nicely demonstrates decreased behavioural and neural sensitivity to bizarre facial expression, which was worse with disease severity. The additional finding of a decreased time-course correlation between visual areas, amygdala and PFC can be considered as evidence for neural dysregulation in schizophrenia that is manifested already at the first episode.
