Event-related fMRI examines set-shifting deficits in schizophrenia, indicating altered neural activation patterns.

Increased activation in the rostral anterior cingulate cortex during set-shifting was observed in schizophrenia patients.
Healthy controls exhibited more confined cortical activation patterns in comparison to the widespread activation in patients.
Participants were tested using the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test to analyze distinct components of executive functions.
Impacts of neuroleptic medication in patients may influence the observed cognitive function and neural mechanisms.

Wilmsmeier et al. (2010) studied this question.
