Abstract
Go to:
Intrinsic activity of the brain during restingstate is not random and is currently discussed as a neural reflection of selfreferential processing. Selfreference is typically reduced in schizophrenia as a disorder of the self while extensive selfattribution of, eg, negative thoughts is characteristic for major depression. However, a quantitative metaanalysis targeting the restingstate brain activity in both disorders is lacking. Here, we predict primarily abnormal restingstate activity in brain regions related to selfreferential processing. By means of activation likelihood estimation (ALE) on functional magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography studies, we investigated concurrence of hyperactivation and hypoactivation in restingstate measurements of schizophrenic and depressed patients compared with healthy controls. We found hypoactivation in ventromedial prefrontal cortex...
