Impaired Midline Theta Power and Connectivity During Proactive Cognitive Control in Schizophrenia

Disrupted proactive cognitive control, a form of early selection and active goal maintenance, is hypothesized to underlie the broad cognitive deficits observed in patients with schizophrenia (SP). Current research suggests the disrupted activation within and connectivity between regions of the cognitive control network contribute to disrupted proactive cognitive control; however, no study has examined these mechanisms using an AX-CPT task in schizophrenia.
