This study investigates how schizophrenia affects neural processing of semantically complex speech and co-speech gestures using a naturalistic multimodal fMRI paradigm, finding reduced activation in patients for complex segments, which is mitigated by gestures.

This study identifies modality-specific neural processing deficits in schizophrenia for social-abstract and non-social-concrete information, but not in bimodal conditions.
