Perceptual Organization Test (POT) for the Differentiation Between Schizophrenia and Brain Damage
نویسنده
چکیده
The Perceptual Organization Test (POT) has been designed for the purpose of measuring impairment in cognitive functioning as reflected in a purely perceptual task. Such a test is badly needed in view of the fact that the most widely used tests of perception are not really pure tests of perception. Bender Gestalt (Bender, 1960), for example, requires a certain measure of motor skill in copying nine geometric figures. In spite of its usefulness, it does not help us determine how much of the abnormality reflected in the drawings is due to impairment in visual organization and how much of it is due to motor dysfunction. In addition, Bender Gestalt has been shown to be a very complex

Schizophrenia is a chronic and often debilitating illness which affects about 1% of the world population. Some reagents have been used to simulate schizophrenic disorders in laboratory animals, such as amphetamine and ketamine. Previous studies have suggested that reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, reduced levels of ATP, mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis are involved in the pathoph...
