Background Two brain regions often implicated in schizophrenia are the dorsolateral
prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and the hippocampal formation (HF). It has been hypothesized

acquired during a working memory challenge and a sensorimotor control task in 22
medication-free schizophrenic patients and 22 performance-, age-, and sex-matched …
