Background: The nature of the alteration of the response to cognitive tasks in first-episode psychosis (FEP) still awaits clarification. We used activation likelihood estimation, an increasingly used method in evaluating normal and pathological brain function, to identify activation changes in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies of FEP during attentional and memory tasks. Methods: We included 11 peer-reviewed fMRI studies assessing FEP patients versus healthy controls (HCs…

First-Episode Psychotic Patients Showed Longitudinal Brain Changes Using fMRI With an Emotional Auditory Paradigm
TLDR
The results suggested that the amygdala and hippocampus play a key role in psychotic disease, and support the relevance of the type of paradigm in neuroimaging for psychosis.
Precuneus and insular hypoactivation during cognitive processing in first-episode psychosis: Systematic review and meta-analysis of fMRI studies.
Verbal Memory and Voxel Based Morphometry in First Episode Non-Affective Psychosis: A Process Oriented Approach
TLDR
Findings emphasize the anterior orbitofrontal cortex as the brain region that contributes to verbal memory deficits in FEP patients, and suggest specific relationships between different neuroanatomical structures and discrete verbal memory processes.

Selective abnormal modulation of hippocampal activity during memory formation in first-episode psychosis.
TLDR
This study demonstrated that, in the same group of patients with FEP, the hippocampus could show either normal or abnormal modulation of activation depending on the specific cognitive process that was examined, and denotes an important representational problem that may confer greater vulnerability to psychotic disorders.
Neural correlates of working memory dysfunction in first-episode schizophrenia patients: An fMRI multi-center study
Impaired context processing as a potential marker of psychosis risk state
fMRI study of maintenance and manipulation processes within working memory in first-episode schizophrenia.
TLDR
Functional neuroanatomical findings add support to earlier suggestions that manipulation of information is selectively more affected than maintenance of information in persons with schizophrenia.

TLDR
Because antipsychotic-naïve schizophrenia patients’ persistent activation in the 1-back and 2-back conditions may reflect an inability to shift cognitive strategy with onset of WM demands, impaired temporoparietal deactivation may represent a primary dysfunction in schizophrenia.
Abnormal effective connectivity and psychopathological symptoms in the psychosis high-risk state.
TLDR
This study demonstrates that abnormal frontoparietal connectivity during working memory processing is already evident in individuals with an ARMS and is related to psychiatric symptoms.
First-episode psychosis is characterized by failure of deactivation but not by hypo- or hyperfrontality
TLDR
First-episode psychosis is not characterized by hypo- or hyperfrontality but instead by a failure of deactivation in the medial frontal cortex, and the location and connectivity of this area suggest that it is part of the default mode network.
Changes in distributed neural circuitry function in patients with first-episode schizophrenia
TLDR
The results suggest that dysfunction of the left fronto-thalamo-cerebellar circuitry is a relatively stable characteristic of schizophrenia, whereas disturbance of the right circuitry and cingulate gyrus is predominantly a state-related phenomenon.
Proactive and reactive cognitive control and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex dysfunction in first episode schizophrenia☆
Association of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex dysfunction with disrupted coordinated brain activity in schizophrenia: relationship with impaired cognition, behavioral disorganization, and global function.
TLDR
Findings suggest that there is an association between decreased dorsolateral prefrontal cortex activity and connectivity and a task-related neural network that may result in the disabling disorganization symptoms related to impaired cognition in individuals with schizophrenia.
