SCZ (ΔBPND) HV (ΔBPND) t P
DLPFC −7.79 ± 11.28 −0.58 ± 8.45 1.84 .079
ACC −11.48 ± 15.08 4.40 ± 6.00 3.52 .003a
Occipital cortex −1.83 ± 12.48 3.17 ± 15.57 0.90 .37
Inferior Parietal cortex −3.35 ± 13.42 6.06 ± 28.77 1.06 .30
Temporal cortex 1.44 ± 15.58 0.03 ± 9.01 0.28 .78
Thalamus −8.73 ± 19.50 −3.28 ± 18.36 0.71 .48

P significant at <.05; t, independent t test.

aPositive value in ΔBPND indicates decrease in the BPND during WCST compared with BPND during SMCT which in turn suggests increased dopamine release during WCST compared with SMCT. On the other hand, negative value in ΔBPND indicate increase in the BPND during WCST compared with BPND during SMCT which in turn suggests dopamine depletion.
