Kubicki M, Niznikiewicz M, Connor E, Ungar L, Nestor P, Bouix S, Dreusicke M, Kikinis R, McCarley R, Shenton ME Brain Imaging Behav 2009 Jun;3(2):191-201 PMID: 20556231 Abstract Attention and memory deficits are among the most prominent cognitive disturbances observed in schizophrenia. It has been suggested that a disruption in… read more →
Nguyen AD, Shenton ME, Levitt JJ Harv Rev Psychiatry 2010 Sep-Oct;18(5):279-92 PMID: 20825265 Abstract Olfactory processing is thought to be mediated via the frontal and temporolimbic brain regions, both of which, as well as olfactory dysfunction, are implicated in schizophrenia. Likewise, several empirical studies of olfactory dysfunction–in particular, olfactory deficits… read more →
Spencer KM, Nestor PG, Valdman O, Niznikiewicz MA, Shenton ME, McCarley RW Neuropsychology 2011 Jan;25(1):76-85 PMID: 20919764 Abstract OBJECTIVE: While attentional functions are usually found to be impaired in schizophrenia, a review of the literature on the orienting of spatial attention in schizophrenia suggested that voluntary attentional orienting in response… read more →
Shenton ME, Whitford TJ, Kubicki M Dialogues Clin Neurosci 2010;12(3):317-32 PMID: 20954428 Abstract Historically, Kraepelin speculated that dementia praecox resulted from damage to the cerebral cortex, most notably the frontal and temporal cortices. It is only recently, however, that tools have been available to test this hypothesis. Now, more than… read more →
Nguyen AD, Pelavin PE, Shenton ME, Chilakamarri P, McCarley RW, Nestor PG, Levitt JJ Brain Imaging Behav 2011 Dec;5(4):252-61 PMID: 21728040 Abstract The current report used structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to objectively measure olfactory bulb volume and olfactory sulcal depth in patients diagnosed with chronic schizophrenia and healthy controls.… read more →
Melonakos ED, Shenton ME, Rathi Y, Terry DP, Bouix S, Kubicki M Psychiatry Res 2011 Aug;193(2):65-70 PMID: 21684124 Abstract Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) is a hypothesis-free, whole-brain, voxel-by-voxel analytic method that attempts to compare imaging data between populations. Schizophrenia studies have utilized this method to localize differences in diffusion tensor imaging… read more →
Uehara-Aoyama K, Nakamura M, Asami T, Yoshida T, Hayano F, Roppongi T, Fujiwara A, Inoue T, Shenton ME, Hirayasu Y Psychiatry Clin. Neurosci. 2011 Aug;65(5):483-9 PMID: 21851457 Abstract AIM: The sulcogyral pattern of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is characterized by a remarkable inter-individual variability that likely reflects neurobehavioral traits and… read more →
Rosenberger G, Nestor PG, Oh JS, Levitt JJ, Kindleman G, Bouix S, Fitzsimmons J, Niznikiewicz M, Westin CF, Kikinis R, McCarley RW, Shenton ME, Kubicki M Brain Imaging Behav 2012 Sep;6(3):417-25 PMID: 22415192 Abstract Thalamo-cortical feedback loops play a key role in the processing and coordination of processing and integration… read more →
Nestor PG, Kubicki M, Nakamura M, Niznikiewicz M, Levitt JJ, Shenton ME, McCarley RW Brain Imaging Behav 2013 Mar;7(1):68-76 PMID: 23011383 Abstract We examined variability in performance on widely-used neuropsychological Wechsler tests of intelligence and memory in a large sample of persons with chronic schizophrenia, a subset of whom had… read more →
Fitzsimmons J, Kubicki M, Shenton ME Curr Opin Psychiatry 2013 Mar;26(2):172-87 PMID: 23324948 Abstract PURPOSE OF REVIEW: We review diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies that investigate white matter abnormalities in patients with chronic schizophrenia, first episode schizophrenia, and those who are at genetic risk for developing schizophrenia. Additionally, we include… read more →
