Controlling for possible treatment effects, medication, E bias, and constancy of fixation, schizophrenic patients were found to have a smaller figural aftereffect than a nonschizophrenic group. Earlier reports of displacement of the T figure toward the I figure in schizophrenic patients were confirmed. 10 of the 11 Ss who did not maintain constant fixation were schizophrenic patients. This find...

Clozapine is well-known for successful use in schizophrenic patients treatment resistant to other antipsychotics. However, even with clozapine, 25% of schizophrenic patients are not in remission. Recently, as adjunctive treatment with clozapine, electroconvulsive therapy has been reported to be an effective and safe adjunctive treatment. We report a Japanese schizophrenic woman who was not in r...

Objectives: To examine error-related negativity (ERN) and correct response negativity (CRN) in schizophrenia in light of two previous conflicting reports, and to determine their relation to disorganization, psychomotor poverty and reality distortion. Methods: Event-related potentials were recorded from 21 schizophrenic and 21 control participants who performed a simple go/no-go task. Response-l...

BACKGROUND Abnormal connectivity of the anticorrelated intrinsic networks, the task-negative network (TNN), and the task-positive network (TPN) is implicated in schizophrenia. Comparisons between schizophrenic patients and their unaffected siblings enable further understanding of illness susceptibility and pathophysiology. We examined the resting-state connectivity differences in the intrinsic ...

OBJECTIVE The level of various specific biomarkers of oxidative stress in plasma from schizophrenic patients, as well as biomarkers (the level of isoprostanes) in urine in schizophrenic patients was described. The aim of our present study was to evaluate biomarkers of oxidative stress by oxidative/nitrative modifications of plasma proteins (by measuring the level of carbonyl groups and 3-nitrot...
