functional anomalies observed in SZ. For example, an increased number of long distance white matter tracts (Hubl et al. 2004) as well as greater functional connectivity within the DMN at rest (Whitfield-Gabrieli et al. 2009; Wolf et al. 2011) have been found in SZ. Together, this pattern of increased neural synchronization may reflect network activity in the resting state that is less selectively organized, consistent with suggestions that SZ may be associated with inefficient neural processing (Macdonald et al. 2005; Ragland et al. 2008; Karch et al. 2009).
