Do brain activation during eye gaze discrimination in stable schizophrenia?
Despite similar gaze discrimination abilities, schizophrenia patients exhibit decreased brain activation in areas associated with executive, emotional and visual processing. Controls exhibited increased activation associated with the more difficult task in select frontal and temporal regions. Patients exhibited increased activation associated with direct gaze in temporal regions, which may relate to common symptoms.
Our results indicate that exercise training decreases oxidative stress, which is related to an improvement in BRS in SHR.
