Neural Dysfunction Underlying Working Memory Processing at Different Stages of the Illness Course in Schizophrenia:A Comparative Meta-analysis
Schizophrenia (SCZ), as a chronic and persistent disorder, exhibits working memory deficits across various stages of the disorder, yet the neural mechanisms underlying these deficits remain elusive with inconsistent neuroimaging findings. We aimed to compare the brain functional changes of working memory in patients at different stages: clinical high risk (CHR), first-episode psychosis (FEP), and long-term SCZ, using meta-analyses of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies. Following a systematic literature search, fifty-six whole-brain task-based fMRI studies (15 for CHR, 16 for FEP, 25 for long-term SCZ) were included. The separate and pooled neurofunctional mechanisms among CHR, FEP and long-term SCZ were generated by Seed-based d Mapping toolbox. The CHR and FEP groups exhibited overlapping hypoactivation in the right inferior parietal lobule, right middle frontal gyrus, and left superior parietal lobule, indicating key lesion sites in the early phase of SCZ. Individuals with FEP showed lower activation in left inferior parietal lobule than those with long-term SCZ, reflecting a possible recovery process or more neural inefficiency. We concluded that SCZ represent as a continuum in the early stage of illness progression, while the neural bases are inversely changed with the development of illness course to long-term course.

Working memory dysfunction differs between secondary progressive and relapsing multiple sclerosis: Effects of clinical phenotype, age, disease duration, and disability
Background Cognitive dysfunction is relatively common in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Although it occurs in all stages and all phenotypes of MS, it is more prevalent in secondary progressive MS (SPMS) compared…
A mechanistic insight into sources of error of visual working memory in multiple sclerosis
Working memory (WM) is one of the most affected cognitive domains in multiple sclerosis (MS), which is mainly studied by the previously established binary model for information storage (slot model). However, recent obser…
Hierarchical Working Memory and a New Magic Number
The extremely limited working memory span, typically around four items, contrasts sharply with our everyday experience of processing much larger streams of sensory information concurrently. This disparity suggests that w…
