Hyperconnectivity in perisylvian language pathways in schizophrenia with auditory verbal hallucinations: A multi-site diffusion MRI study

Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) are one of the cardinal symptoms of schizophrenia, and are proposed to be associated with altered integrity of the left perisylvian language pathways. There is considerable heterogeneity in the pattern of white matter abnormalities across previous studies. We investigated the white matter integrity of the perisylvian language pathways in schizophrenia patients with AVH based on a relatively large sample...
