The present study examined the biological correlates of electrodermal activity in 63 patients with DSM-III diagnosed chronic schizophrenia. Subjects were administered a battery of neuropsychological tests sensitive to temporal lobe, frontal lobe, and overall brain functioning. Brain morphology was evaluated by calculating the size of the lateral ventricles, measuring the width of the third ventricle, and rating the extent to which cortical sulci were visible. Electrodermal hyporesponsiveness was associated with impaired performance on tests that assessed temporal lobe functioning. No association was found between the brain morphology indices and electrodermal activity.
本研究调查了63名被诊断为患有DSM-III型慢性精神分裂症患者的皮肤电活动的生物学关联因素。受试者接受了一系列对颞叶、额叶和整体脑功能敏感的神经心理学测试。通过计算侧脑室大小、测量第三脑室宽度以及评估皮质沟可见程度来评估脑形态。皮肤电反应低下与评估颞叶功能的测试表现受损有关。未发现脑形态指标与皮肤电活动之间存在关联。
