Predictive pursuit association with deficits in working memory in psychosis.

Abstract

Deficits in smooth pursuit eye movements are an established phenotype for schizophrenia (SZ) and are being investigated as a potential liability marker for bipolar disorder. Although the molecular determinants of this deficit are still unclear, research has verified deficits in predictive pursuit mechanisms in SZ. Because predictive pursuit might depend on the working memory system, we have hypothesized a relationship between the two in healthy control subjects (HC) and SZ and here examine whether it extends to psychotic bipolar disorder (BDP). Volunteers with SZ (n = 38), BDP (n = 31), and HC (n = 32) performed a novel eye movement task to assess predictive pursuit as well as a standard visuospatial measure of working memory. Individuals with SZ and BDP both showed reduced predictive pursuit gain compared with HC (p < .05). Moreover, each patient group showed worse performance in visuospatial working memory compared with control subjects (p < .05). A strong correlation (r = .53, p = .007) was found between predictive pursuit gain and working memory in HC, a relationship that showed a trend correlation within the BDP group but not among SZ. Individuals with SZ and BDP showed similar deficits in predictive pursuit, suggesting th...Continue Reading
