Schizophrenic patients are heterogeneous with respect to voluntary eye movement performance, with some showing impairment (e.g., high antisaccade error rates) and others having intact performance. To investigate how this heterogeneity may correlate with different cognitive outcomes after treatment, we used a prosaccade and antisaccade task to investigate the effects of haloperidol in schizophre...

A multi-channel recording was used to comprehensively examine the topography of the PINV and topographical differences between CNV and PINV in schizophrenic patients and healthy controls: Scalp amplitude and scalp laplacian ICSD} maps of the terminal CNV ItCNVj and PINV, and the time course of the PINV aver four post-imperative intervals (1.0-3.0s after the imperative stimulus) were compared. C...

Objective: Despite the discovery of new antipsychotic drugs in recent years, a number of schizophrenic patients show no response to such drugs and are considered treatment-resistant. In such cases, clozapine and occasionally ECT or a combination of drugs are used, though they are not very effective. In recent years, the combination of clozapine and ECT for treatment-resistant schizophrenic pati...

BACKGROUND Dysmorphology is more concentrated in the craniofacial region of Schizophrenic Patients. So, an early anthropometric assessment of the physical dimensions of the cranium and the face may indicate a potential clue of Schizophrenia. AIMS To study the craniofacial dysmorphology in schizophrenic patients and in healthy controls of the Agra region and to find out whether its evaluation ...

BACKGROUND Shared neuropathological features between schizophrenic patients and their first-degree relatives have potential as indicators of genetic vulnerability to schizophrenia. We sought to explore genetic influences on brain morphology and function in schizophrenic patients and their relatives. METHODS Using a multimodal imaging strategy, we studied 33 schizophrenic patients, 55 of their...

The Continuous Performance Test-Identical Pairs version was administered to 14 schizophrenic patients, 17 depressed patients, and 28 normal controls. The task was divided into verbal and spatial stimuli, as well as no-distraction and distraction (verbal and auditory) conditions. Both patient groups displayed attentional impairments compared to normal subjects, but they differed from each other ...

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise and token-behavior therapy on the negative symptoms of schizophrenic patients. OBJECTIVE Comparison of the effectiveness of exercise and token-behavior therapy on the negative symptoms of schizophrenic patients. METHODS This research was a randomized controlled clinical trial that was done on 45 schizophrenic patients, ...

introduction : shared neuropathology hypothesis in schizophrenia and temporal lobe epilepsy has been introduced long term ago. similar neuropathology leads to the analogous clinical features like neuropsychological features as an example. the aim of this study was to examine this hypothesis by the means of comparing neuropsychological functions in these two patient groups. method : present stud...

Background: Patients with mental disorders experience disturbances in function, which include emotions, thoughts, behavior, motivation, self-perception, and perception, causes a decrease all functions, especially interests, motivations so that it interferes person the process of living society. One o most common is schizophrenia. This study aims to effect classical music therapy on depression l...

Disturbed neural development has been postulated as a crucial factor in the pathophysiology of schizophrenic psychoses. The neurobiochemical basis for such changes of cytoarchitecture and changed neural plasticity could involve an alteration in the regulation of neurotrophic factors. In order to test this hypothesis, BDNF and NT-3 levels in post-mortem brain tissue from schizophrenic patients w...
