Collecting Traces of Activity in Orofacial Muscles during Auditory Verbal Hallucinations in Schizophrenic Patients

چکیده
Schizophrenia is one of the most frequent and severe mental disorders. Among the typical symptoms of schizophrenia are auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH). Inner speech dysfunction is often incriminated in the pathogenesis of AVH. The long term aim of our research is to collect EMG and EGG data on schizophrenic patients during AVH, to examine the inner speech dysfunction hypothesis. In this methodological paper, we validate an experimental protocol which will be applied in this aim.

Functional anatomy of auditory verbal imagery in schizophrenic patients with auditory hallucinations.
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the functional neuroanatomy of inner speech and auditory verbal imagery in schizophrenic patients predisposed to auditory hallucinations. METHOD Eight patients with schizophrenia with a history of prominent auditory hallucinations and six comparison subjects underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging while generating inner speech or imagining external sp...
متن کاملAuditory Hallucinations and Subvocal Speech
Fourteen of 1 8 hallucinating schizophrenic patients reported that the voices they heard went away when they undertook a maneuver that precluded subvocalization. The same applied to 1 8 of 21 normal subjects who hallucinated under the influence of hypnotic suggestion. Control maneuvers had no such effect. The authors suggest that auditory hallucinations may be projections of schizophrenic patie...
متن کاملAn fMRI study of functional abnormalities in the verbal working memory system and the relationship to clinical symptoms in chronic schizophrenia.
There has been evidence for functional abnormalities of the verbal working memory system in schizophrenia. Verbal working memory crucially involves the interplay between the anterior and posterior language systems, and previous studies have shown converging evidence for abnormalities in the posterior language system in schizophrenia. In this functional magnetic resonance imaging study, we measu...
متن کاملAuditory hallucinations and the temporal cortical response to speech in schizophrenia: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study.
OBJECTIVE The authors explored whether abnormal functional lateralization of temporal cortical language areas in schizophrenia was associated with a predisposition to auditory hallucinations and whether the auditory hallucinatory state would reduce the temporal cortical response to external speech. METHOD Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to measure the blood-oxygenation-level-de...

________________________________________________________ Inner speech monitoring deficit : a study of auditory verbal hallucinations Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) are speech perceptions in the absence of relevant external stimuli. Some accounts of AVHs claim that a deficit in inner speech monitoring causes the own verbal thoughts of the patient to be perceived as external voices. These ...
