 Project Summary  Michael P. Weisend, Ph.D. (Young Investigator 2003) of New Mexico VA Health Care System (VA), using Magnetoencephalography (MEG), a noninvasive technology for functional brain mapping, will characterize hippocampal and temporal lobe activity in subjects with schizophrenia and normal controls. The hippocampus is important for certain types of memory and appears to function abnormally in schizophrenia. Subjects will complete memory tasks while MEG data is being recorded in order to better understand the activation of the hippocampus by memory tasks, how the activation is different in schizophrenia, and whether disconnection of the hippocampus or the whole temporal lobe is involved in the memory deficits associated with schizophrenia. Program Area: SCHIZOPHRENIA/PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS\Schizophrenia |
