Thereis no difference between patients with schizophrenia and healthy volunteers in terms of correctly identified words and reaction time.Conclusion: Considering the lack of difference between the groups in terms of number of correctly identified words and reaction time, and BA 44’s role in recognition and imitation of action and being a part of the mirror neuron system, the significant inverse correlation between PANSS negative score and BA40 can be seen as an effort to compensate for BA44 inadequate activity through BA40.

Abstract

Introduction: Action naming is reported to be more damaged in patients with schizophrenia than object naming. Aim of this study is to understand thecortical mechanism underlying the negative symptoms seen in patients with schizophrenia such as inactivity, restricted behavioral repertoire, by using functional MRI (fMRI) to determine whether the action origin words have a different representation in the brain regions of patients with schizophrenia and healthy individuals. Our hypothesis is that restriction in the repertoire of movement and behavior and the failure of words of “action” than words of “object” are interrelated through the same cortical mechanisms. If this hypothesis is correct, the reason for not taking action in patients with schizophrenia may be improper definition of the action (verb). Methods: fMRI study was conducted with 12 patients with schizophrenia and 12 healthy individuals. fMRI recording was performed after applying positive and negative syndrome (PANSS) scale, Calgary depression scale, hand preference scale to the participants. During the sessions, “lexical decision task”is applied by showing a total of 240 words (120 words – 60 verbs (words of action) and 60 nouns (words of object) – and 120 non-words) to the subjects.Results: In fMRI findings, in the group main effect, which can also be expressed as the difference of the noun and verb words in the group of schizophrenia fromthe noun and verb words in the healthy control group, the activation of the anterior prefrontal cortex is found to be lower in patients with schizophrenia than in healthy individuals. When the brain areas which show the difference in verb words in schizophrenia group from both noun words in schizophrenia group and noun and verb words in healthy individuals are examined, inferiorfrontal gyrus pars triangularis (BA45) showed more activation in patients with schizophrenia than healthy individuals, but again for the same task, inferiorfrontal gyrus pars opercularis (BA44) and left primary sensory area showed less activation in patients with schizophrenia than healthy individuals. Thereis no difference between patients with schizophrenia and healthy volunteers in terms of correctly identified words and reaction time.Conclusion: Considering the lack of difference between the groups in terms of number of correctly identified words and reaction time, and BA 44’s role in recognition and imitation of action and being a part of the mirror neuron system, the significant inverse correlation between PANSS negative score and BA40 can be seen as an effort to compensate for BA44 inadequate activity through BA40.

Özet

Amaç: Şizofrenili bireylerde eylem isimlendirmesinin nesne isimlendirilmesinden daha fazla hasar gördüğü bildirildiği bilinmektedir. Bizim çalışmamızda eylemsizlik hali, davranış repertuarında azalma gibi şizofrenili hastalarda görülen negatif belirtilerin altında yatan kortikal mekanizmayı anlamaya çalışmak hedeflenmiş ve eylem kökenli sözcüklerin şizofreni hastaları ve sağlıklı bireylerde beyin bölgelerinde farklı bir temsili olup olmadığı kontrolü fonksiyonel MRG (fMRG) ile tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. “Negatif belirtilerden özellikle hareket ve davranış repertuarında kısıtlama il “eylem” kökenli sözcüklerde “nesne” kökenli sözcüklere göre daha başarısız olma aynı kortikal mekanizmalar üzerinden birbiri ile bağlantılıdır” hipotezi ile yola çıkmak hedeflenmiştir. Yöntem: 12 şizofrenili birey ve 12 sağlıklı gönüllü ile fMRI çalışmamız yürütülmüştür. Pozitif ve negatif sendrom (PANSS) ölçeği, Calgary depresyon ölçeği, el tercihi ölçeği uygulandıktan sonra katılımcılara fMRG kaydı yapılmıştır. Oturumlar esnasında deneklere toplamda 240 kelime gösterilerek (120 word – 60 fiil ve 60 isim – ve 120 non-word) “lexical decision task” uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Grup ana etkisinde, yani şizofreni grubundaki isim ve eylem soylu kelimelerin sağlıklı kontrol grubundaki isim ve eylem soylu kelimelerden farkı olarak da ifade edilebilen fMRG bulgularında; anterior prefrontal korteks aktivasyonu şizofrenili bireylerde sağlıklı bireylere göre daha düşük bulunmuştur. Şizofrenili hastalarda fiil soylu kelimelerin hem şizofreni grubundaki isim soylu kelimelerden hem de sağlıklı bireylerdeki hem isim hem fiil soylu kelimelerden farkını gösteren beyin alanları incelendiğinde, inferior frontal gyrus pars triangularis’te (BA45) şizofreni grubunda sağlıklı bireylere göre daha fazla aktivasyon gösterilmiştir; fakat yine aynı görev için inferior frontal gyrus pars opercularis (BA44) ve sol primer duyusal alanda şizofrenili bireyler sağlıklı bireylere göre daha az aktivasyon göstermişlerdir. Doğru sayısı ve reaksiyon zamanı açısından şizofrenili hastalarda ve sağlıklı gönüllüler arasında fark yoktur. Sonuç: Doğru sayısı ve reaksiyon zamanı açısından gruplar arasında fark olmaması ve BA 44’ün ayna nöron sisteminin bir parçası olduğu ve eylem tanıma ve taklit etme gibi konulardaki rolü dikkate alındığında; PANSS negatif skoruyla BA40 arasındaki anlamlı ters korelasyon, BA44 yetersiz aktivitesinin BA40 aracılığıyla kompanse edilmesine dönük bir çaba olarak görülebilir.
