Altered resting-state functional connectivity in delusional patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder: An fMRI study using threshold-free cluster-enhancement

Key Points

• Delusional patients with schizophrenia show altered resting-state functional connectivity.
• The analysis identified significant changes in connectivity patterns, particularly relating to brain regions involved in perception.
• Using fMRI and threshold-free cluster-enhancement, the study provides insights into neural mechanisms behind delusions.
• Findings may guide future therapeutic approaches in treating schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.
