Description
The neurobehavioral manifestations of schizophrenia, and underlying physiological mechanisms which they reflect, are essential keys to the description and understanding of the disorder. This volume presents a comprehensive survey of behavioral and psychophysiological studies in schizophrenia. Assessment of information processing capacities and neuropsychological findings is accompanied by integrative overviews evaluating past research and paving the way for further research. It is designed both as a reference for the professional, and a resource for the advanced graduate student of psychopathology.
