Description
Bryn Crandles and colleagues report a 2026 EEG study on brain network balance in schizophrenia during quiet, no-response tasks. The measure at stake is small-world propensity, which blends cluster and path efficiency.
Networks were built from 42 patients and 42 matched controls across three passive tasks. Patients varied less in the measure from task to task than controls did. The authors link the flatness to faulty default mode network behavior. The measure and its variation also tracked symptom scores on the PANSS scale. A steadier network, paradoxically, may mark a brain less able to shift states.
