Functional Decoupling of Language and Self-Reference Networks in Patients with Persistent Auditory Verbal Hallucinations

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Accumulating neuroimaging evidence suggests that abnormal intrinsic neural activity could underlie auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) in patients with schizophrenia. However, little is known about the functional interplay between distinct intrinsic neural networks and their association with AVH. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We investigated functional network connectivity (FNC)...
