In an effort to reveal susceptibility genes, schizophrenia research has turned to the
endophenotype strategy. Endophenotypes are characteristics that reflect the actions of …

For every disorder, there is a set of established findings and accepted constructs upon which
further understanding is built. The concept of schizophrenia as a disease entity has been …

Objective: To determine whether patients with schizophrenia have abnormalities in the P300
and P50 waves and to quantify the magnitude of any differences from controls. Method: We …

Many of the social, economic, and political problems facing people with schizophrenia are
due to a misconception in the community that schizophrenia is not a biologically based …

Schizophrenia represents a pervasive deficit in brain function, leading to hallucinations and
delusions, social withdrawal and a decline in cognitive performance. As the underlying …

Background: The P300 component of the auditory event-related brain potential (ERP) is
consistently reduced in schizophrenia. Longitudinal data are examined to determine …

The role of a reduced N100 (or N1) component of the auditory event related potential as a
potential trait marker of schizophrenia is critically discussed in this review. We suggest that …

INTRODUCTION:: We assessed the usefulness of the P300 wave as endophenotype for
schizophrenia by means of a meta-analysis of the literature as well as our own family study …

Abstract Background Event-related potentials (ERPs) have been suggested as possible
endophenotypes of schizophrenia. We investigated the test–retest reliabilities and …

The val66 met polymorphism of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been
associated with variability in episodic memory [Egan et al., 2003]. In an attempt to replicate …
