Deficits in social cognition in schizophrenia have been shown to be among the main factors predicting functional impairment. Facial emotion perception is a basic component of social cognition and other higher-level social cognitive processes. In our review we aim to give an overview of findings investigating the electrophysiological correlates of facial emotion recognition, and summarize previous findings relating to the nature of the deficit in schizophrenia as compared to healthy controls. Disentangling early and late components of emotion processing as indexed by event-related brain potentials allows for a better understanding of whether impairment of facial emotion processing is due to deficits in the early structural encoding of faces, or whether it is related to later deficits associated with the encoding of the emotional content. Findings in the field of social cognition in schizophrenia are of both clinical and pharmacological importance, as on one side they carry the potential to improve cognitive therapeutic interventions, and on the other to develop targets aiming at the improvement of social deficits in schizophrenia.
精神分裂症患者的社会认知缺陷已被证明是预测功能障碍的主要因素之一。面部情绪感知是社会认知和其他高级社会认知过程的基本组成部分。在我们的综述中，我们旨在概述有关面部情绪识别电生理相关性的研究结果，并总结与健康对照组相比，精神分裂症患者缺陷本质的先前研究结果。通过事件相关脑电位来区分情绪处理的早期和晚期成分，有助于更好地理解面部情绪处理障碍是由于面部早期结构编码缺陷，还是与后期情绪内容编码相关的缺陷有关。精神分裂症社会认知领域的研究结果具有临床和药理学重要性，一方面它们有可能改善认知治疗干预措施，另一方面有助于开发旨在改善精神分裂症社会缺陷的靶点。
