Objective:To compare the difference in brain activation between schizophrenia patients and normal controls, to explore the neural basis of executive impairement in schizophrenia patients.Methods:Sixteen schizophrenia patients and sixteen normal controls received a 3-back working memory task. fMRI data analysis was applied.Results:Schizophrenia patients showed two activation networks with different orientation. Compared with normal controls, schizophrenia patients showed decreaed activity in multiple regions including bilateral DLPFC, VLPFC, LPMA, PPC, left SMA, rostral part and frontal pole of PFC, while increased activity in MPFC, bilateral temporal lobe and cingulate.Conclusion:Impaired executive function in schizophrenia patients may have underlying pathophysiological basis. Schizophrenia patients are associated with function damage of multiple regions and functional disintegration of brain network but not single brain region. Aberrant functional connectivity between prefrontal cortex and hippocampus/ temporolimbic cortices may be one of the reasons.
