Impaired top-down modulation of saccadic latencies in patients with schizophrenia but not in first-degree relatives

Impaired top-down modulation of saccadic latencies in patients with schizophrenia but not in first-degree relatives

Impaired eye movements have a long history in schizophrenia research and meet the criteria of a reliable biomarker. However, the effects of cognitive load and task difficulty on saccadic latencies (SL) are less understood. Recent studies showed that SL are strongly task dependent: SL are decreased i...
