Schizophrenia and cognitive function.

Abstract

Schizophrenia is often associated with cognitive deficits, particularly within the domains of memory and language. Specific cognitive deficits have recently been linked to psychotic phenomena, including verbal hallucinations and disorganized speech. Impairments of working and semantic memory are primarily due to dysfunction of the frontal cortex, temporal cortex, and hippocampus. Cognitive skills in schizophrenia predict social functioning and may serve as outcome measures in the development of effective treatment strategies.

Evoked and oscillatory neuromagnetic responses to sniffing odor in human subjects.

We studied neuromagnetic responses to sniffing air and odor of lemon, lavender or soy sauce in two human subjects. Simple averaging of the data with respect to the onsets of the sniffs yielded odor-specific evoked responses over the right cortex with peak latency about 350 ms after the onsets. When the data were passed through band-pass filters centered around 48 Hz and of 320 ms in duration, rectified and then averaged, they yielded peaks, indicating transient oscillations, over the right frontal cortex with longer latency. We found such peaks in only 9 out of 26 experiments of sniffing odor, however.

'The surface management system' (SuMS) database: a surface-based database to aid cortical surface reconstruction, visualization and analysis.

Surface reconstructions of the cerebral cortex are increasingly widely used in the analysis and visualization of cortical structure, function and connectivity. From a neuroinformatics perspective, dealing with surface-related data poses a number of challenges. These include the multiplicity of configurations in which surfaces are routinely viewed (e.g. inflated maps, spheres and flat maps), plus the diversity of experimental data that can be represented on any given surface. To address these challenges, we have developed a surface management system (SuMS) that allows automated storage and retrieval of complex surface-related datasets. SuMS provides a systematic framework for the classification, storage and retrieval of many types of surface-related data and associated volume data. Within this classification framework, it serves as a version-control system capable of handling large numbers of surface and volume datasets. With built-in database management system support, SuMS provides rapid search and retrieval capabilities across all the datasets, while also incorporating multiple security levels to regulate access. SuMS is implemented in Java and can be accessed via a Web interface (WebSuMS) or using downloaded client software. Thus, SuMS is well positioned to act as a multiplatform, multi-user 'surface request broker' for the neuroscience community.
