Psychophysiology of schizophrenia

Journal/Book: Curr Opin Psychiatry. 1997; 10: 2-6 Boundary Row, London, England SE1 8NH. Rapid Science Publishers. 11-15.

Abstract: Over the years, a large number of psychophysiological deficits have been demonstrated in schizophrenia. The greatest challenge is to progress beyond studies of phenomenology to investigations of etiology. The ability to combine psychophysiology with neuroimaging, along with the development of animal models, now permits psychophysiology to test specific etiological hypotheses in schizophrenia.
