Visual masking deficits in schizophrenia: a view into the genetics of the disease through an endophenotype

Michael Herzog, Jacques Fellay, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Flavia Aurelia Shoko Hodel, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder determined by a complex mixture of genetic and environmental factors. To better understand the contributions of human genetic variations to schizophrenia, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of ...

Neural Compensation Mechanisms of Siblings of Schizophrenia Patients as Revealed by High-Density EEG

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Janir Nuno Ramos Antunes Da Cruz, Patricia Figueiredo, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Visual backward masking (VBM) deficits are candidate endophenotypes of schizophrenia indexing genetic liability of the disorder. In VBM, a target is followed by a mask that deteriorates target perception. Schizophrenia patients and, to a lesser extent, the ...

No Evidence for a Common Factor Underlying Visual Abilities in Healthy Older People

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Aaron Michael Clarke, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

The world's population is aging at an increasing rate. Even in the absence of neurodegenerative disorders, healthy aging affects perception and cognition. In the context of cognition, common factors are well established. Much less is known about common fac ...

Schizophrenia patients using atypical medication perform better in visual tasks than patients using typical medication

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Schizophrenia (SCZ) patients show deficits in many domains, including cognition and perception. However, results are often mixed. One reason for mixed results may be differences in medication. Very little is known about the role of medication in visual pro ...

Is the perception of illusions abnormal in schizophrenia?

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri, Fred Mast

There seems to be no common factor for visual perception, i.e., performance in visual tasks correlates only weakly with each other. Similar results were found with visual illusions. One may expect common visual factors for individuals suffering from pathol ...

Statistical Learning Impairments as a Consequence of Stroke

Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Statistical learning is the implicit learning of the contingencies between sequential stimuli, typically from mere exposure. It is present from infancy onward, and plays a role in functions from language learning to selective attention. Despite these obser ...

Perception of visual illusions is intact in schizophrenia

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri, Fred Mast

There seems to be no common factor for visual perception because performance levels in many visual tasks correlate only weakly with each other. Similar results were found with visual illusions. However, one may expect common visual factors for individuals ...
