Research report 2008
Cover picture:
The cover image of the 2008 research report shows the surface reconstruction of the human cerebral cortex with color-coded activation map. The brain areas identified by functional imaging show differences in the processing of audiovisually presented speech in patients with schizophrenia compared to healthy control subjects. The accompanying animation shows the surface reconstruction of the human cerebral cortex with color-coded activation map from different perspectives. The three-dimensional representation of identified brain areas allows the researcher to quickly capture spatially diffuse activation clusters that can only be partially imaged in conventional MR slice images.
The measurement of brain activity during speech perception in this experiment takes about 25 minutes. The image was provided to us by Dr. rer. nat. Dipl.-Psych. Gregor R. Szycik, research associate at the Clinical Department of Psychiatry, Social-psychiatry and Psychological Therapy (Director: Prof. Dr. med. Stefan Bleich).
The entire study has been published in the internationally renowned journal Schizophrenia Research (DOI: 10.1016/j.schres.2009.03.003).
