Auditory hallucinations across the psychosis spectrum: Evidence of dysconnectivity involving cerebellar and temporal lobe regions

Background: Auditory hallucinations (AH) are typically associated with schizophrenia (SZ), but they are also prevalent in bipolar disorder (BD). Despite the large body of research on the neural correlates of AH in SZ, the pathophysiology underlying AH remains unclear. Few studies have examined the n...

We performed region of interest (ROI)-to-ROI functional connectivity (FC) analysis using 91 cortical, 15 subcortical, and 26 cerebellar atlas-defined regions. The primary aim was to identify FC differences between patients with and without lifetime AH. We secondarily examined differences between AH and NAH within each diagnosis. Results: Compared to the NAH group, patients with AH showed higher FC between cerebellum and frontal (left precentral gyrus), temporal [right middle temporal gyrus (MTG), left inferior temporal gyrus (ITG), left temporal fusiform gyrus)], parietal (bilateral superior parietal lobules), and subcortical (left accumbens, left palldium) brain areas. AH also showed lower FC between temporal lobe regions (between right ITG and right MTG and bilateral superior temporal gyri) relative to NAH. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that dysconnectivity involving the cerebellum and temporal lobe regions may be common neurofunctional elements associated with AH propensity across the psychosis spectrum. We also found dysconnectivity patterns that were unique to lifetime AH within SZ or bipolar psychosis, suggesting both common and distinct mechanisms underlying AH pathophysiology in these disorders.Melissa HwangYoukyung S.
