Emotional fMR auditory paradigm demonstrates normalization of limbic hyperactivity after cognitive behavior therapy for auditory hallucinations

This study explored the changes in brain activation associated with an emotional auditory paradigm when patients with schizophrenia and auditory hallucinations were treated with CBT. Functional magnetic resonance (fMR) imaging data were obtained from 55 subjects (17 patients with schizophrenia in the therapy group, 24 patients with schizophrenia in the control patient group, and 14 healthy control subjects).
