EEG- and EP-mapping--possible indicators for disturbed information processing in schizophrenia?
1. Schizophrenic patients have been investigated electroencephalographically to describe disturbed information processing mechanisms. 2. 16-channel quantitative EEG and P300 were recorded at resting conditions before and during neuroleptic depot injection. 3. Reduced occipital alpha-power and alpha-power dependent P300-amplitudes were found in the schizophrenics. 4. Hippocampal structures are involved in the disturbed information processing mechanisms.
