Popis: This study examined the relationship of rCBF and P 300 ERPs in 13 schizoprenic female patients treated with haloperidol after being replaced by risperidone. The co-occurence of rCBF, clinical and electrophysiological improvements serve as a powerfull indicator of cognitive function and risperidone effectiveness, having a greater beneficial influence on neurocognition compared to conventional antipsychotics, also helping in understanding the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and encouraging the use of SPECT for individual estimation of different antipsychotic effects.
