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...

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 neural substrates associated with propensity for AH in BD. Investigating AH across the psychosis spectrum has the potential to inform about the neural signature associated with the trait of AH, irrespective of psychiatric diagnosis. Methods: We compared resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging data in psychosis patients with (n = 90 AH; 68 SZ, 22 BD) and without (n = 55 NAH; 16 SZ, 39 BD) lifetime AH. We performed region of interest (ROI)-to-ROI functional connectivity (FC) analysis using 91 cortical, 15 subcortical, and 26 cerebellar atlas-defined regions.
