Multivariate Association between Functional Connectivity Gradients and Cognition in Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders

Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders (SSDs), which are characterized by social cognitive deficits, have been associated with dysconnectivity in "unimodal" (e.g., visual, auditory) and "multimodal" (e.g., default-mode and frontoparietal) cortical networks. However, little is known regarding how such dysconnectivity relates to social and non-social cognition, and how such brain-behavioral relationships associate with clinical outcomes of SSDs.
