Impaired speaking-induced suppression in schizophrenia predicts auditory verbal hallucinations (Updated October 13, 2024).

The article discusses a study on impaired speaking-induced suppression in schizophrenia and its correlation with auditory verbal hallucinations. The research compares the primary auditory cortex activity between healthy controls and schizophrenia patients, finding reduced suppression in the latter group. The findings suggest that auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia may be linked to difficulties in distinguishing between internal and external stimuli, potentially due to weakened self-agency and neural oscillations.
