Psychiatry"],"abstract":"<jats:p><jats:bold>Background:<\/jats:bold> Eye movement parameters are often used during cognitive functioning assessments of patients with psychotic spectrum disorders. It is interesting to compare these oculomotor parameters with cognitive functions, as assessed using psychometric cognitive tests. A network analysis is preferable for understanding complex systems; therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the multidimensional relationships that exist between oculomotor reactions and neurocognition in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:bold> A total of 134 subjects (93 inpatients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (ICD-10) and 41 healthy volunteers) participated in this study. Psychiatric symptom severity was assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia, and the Young Mania Rating Scale. Extrapyramidal symptoms were assessed using the Simpson-Angus Scale, and akathisia was assessed using the Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale. Eye movements were recorded using an eye-tracker SMI RED 500, and cognitive function was assessed using the Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia. The statistical analyses were conducted using Minitab 17 Statistical Software, version 17.2.1. Data visualization and additional analyses were performed in the R 4.0.3 environment, using RStudio V 1.3.1093 software.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> A network model of neurocognitive and oculomotor functions was constructed for the patients. In the full network (which includes all correlations) the median antisaccade latency value is the central element of the oculomotor domain, and the Symbol Coding test, the Digit Sequencing test, and the Verbal Fluency test are central elements in the neurocognitive domain. Additionally, there were connections between other cognitive and oculomotor functions, except for the antisaccade error latency in the oculomotor domain and the Token Motor Task in the neurocognitive domain.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Network analysis provides measurable criteria for the assessment of neurophysiological and neurocognitive abnormalities in patients with schizophrenic spectrum disorders and allows to select key targets for their management and cognitive remediation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2021.736228","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,10]],"date-time":"2021-11-10T08:54:46Z","timestamp":1636534486000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Eye Movements and Cognitive Functioning in Patients With Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders: Network Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Alexander","family":"Shmukler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander V.","family":"Latanov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Karyakina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Victor N.","family":"Anisimov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marina A.","family":"Churikova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ivan S.","family":"Sukhachevsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valery A.","family":"Spektor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"451","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/31.3.451","article-title":"An experimental study of the ocular reactions of the insane from photographic records","volume":"31","author":"Diefendorf","year":"1908","journal-title":"Brain."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"43","DOI":"10.1007\/s00406-014-0567-8","article-title":"Eye movements of patients with schizophrenia in a natural environment","volume":"266","author":"Dowiasch","year":"2016","journal-title":"Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"921","DOI":"10.1007\/s00406-018-0973-4","article-title":"Antisaccade and prosaccade eye movements in individuals clinically at risk for psychosis: comparison with first-episode schizophrenia and prediction of conversion","volume":"269","author":"Kleineidam","year":"2019","journal-title":"Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1002\/npr2.12087","article-title":"Eye movement characteristics in schizophrenia: a recent update with clinical implications","volume":"40","author":"Morita","year":"2020","journal-title":"Neuropsychopharmacol Rep."},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"344","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tics.2017.02.001","article-title":"Oculomotor prediction: a window into the psychotic mind","volume":"21","author":"Thakkar","year":"2017","journal-title":"Trends Cogn Sci."},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"327","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bandc.2008.08.021","article-title":"Cognitive control of saccadic eye movements","volume":"68","author":"Hutton","year":"2008","journal-title":"Brain Cogn."},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"461","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291700033389","article-title":"Saccadic abnormalities in psychotic patients.
