The structural brain correlates of neurological soft signs in AESOP first-episode psychoses study.
Patients with schizophrenia and related psychoses have an excess of minor neurological abnormalities (neurological soft signs) of unclear neuropathological origin. These include poor motor coordination, sensory perceptual difficulties and difficulties in sequencing complex motor tasks. Neurological soft signs seem not to reflect primary tract or nuclear pathology. It still has to be established...
متن کاملA Study of Soft Neurological Signs and Its Correlates in Drug-Naive Patients with First Episode Psychosis
BACKGROUND Soft neurological signs are minor, non localizing, objective abnormalities, thought to reflect damage in cortical and sub-cortical connections or connections within different cortical regions. Regional structural grey matter anomalies have already been observed and correlated with the presence of cognitive deficits and presence of soft neurological signs in schizophrenic patients. ...
متن کاملNeurological Soft Signs in First -Episode Schizophrenia
Neurological soft signs (NSS) refer to subtle neurological abnormalities comprising deficits in sensory integration, motor coordination, or sequencing of complex motor acts. It is generally accepted that NSS are more prevalent in schizophrenia patients, including first -episode cases, than in healthy subjects. Moreover, NSS have been consistently demonstrated in neuroleptic naïve firstepisode p...
متن کاملCerebellar substructures and neurological soft signs in first-episode schizophrenia.
A subtle impairment of motor coordination and sensory integration functions is frequently found in schizophrenia. Clinically these deficits present as neurological soft signs (NSS). Because of its crucial role in motor function, control of muscle tone and equilibrium, the cerebellum is likely to be involved in the appearance of NSS. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in 30 patients ...
متن کاملNeurological soft signs and brain morphology in first-episode schizophrenia.
BACKGROUND Although minor motor and sensory deficits, or neurological soft signs (NSS), are a well-established finding in schizophrenia, the cerebral changes underlying these signs are only partly understood. We therefore investigated the cerebral correlates of NSS by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls. METHOD Forty-two patients, all rec...
