Abnormal Cortical Neural Synchrony During Working Memory in Schizophrenia

Working memory (WM) encompasses the encoding, maintenance, and retrieval of mental representations that guide behavior (Baddeley, 2012; Miyake and Shah, 1999). Recent experimental studies have demonstrated that people with schizophrenia (PSZ) have WM storage capacity deficits which is not simply explained by instability in WM mental representation (Gold et al., 2010) or attentional deficits (Erickson et al., 2015), suggesting that problems in multiple neural processes might contribute to limited WM capacity in PSZ.
