One of the key properties of the brain that varies with age-related development is the network-level controllability of brain state transitions. We tested the effect of onset-age on brain controllability to evaluate its impact on WM deficits in schizophrenia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We examined the average and modal controllability of the brain connectome in 85 first-episode early-onset schizophrenia (EOS), 62 younger healthy controls (yHC), 71 first-episode adult-onset schizophrenia (AOS), and 85 older healthy controls (oHC) during N-back tasks. We first detected the regions with illness and onset-age interaction in a whole-brain search, and then conducted a correlation analysis with WM performance and clinical characteristics, followed by an out-of-sample gene annotation analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We detected the illness*onset-age interaction in the sensorimotor network, auditory network, and subcortical network for average controllability and the default mode network, visual network, and salience network for modal controllability (p-fdr\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). The interaction effects in the visual and subcortical networks primarily resulted from the AOS vs. oHC differences; the effects in the default mode network resulted from EOS vs. yHC differences. We observed no significant correlation between controllability with cognitive performance or clinical characteristics.
