BRAIN MAPPING AND SCHIZOPHRENIA - A BIBLI OGRAPHIC CRITICAL REVISION

This is a revision of the bibliography related to the neurophysiologic al aspects of schizophrenia observed by means of the recent methods of exploration of the brain electrical activity, such as brain mapping a nd long latency, or the so called cognitive evoked potentials. The neu rophysiological findings are correlated with data from other methods o f exploration of the Central Nervous System, such as those that deal w ith the macroscopical and microscopical structure of the brain and wit h its chemistry and metabolism. The different hypothesis suggested for understanding the factors related to the genesis of schizophrenia, su ch as the genetic, the neurodevelopmental, the neuropharmacologycal an d the histochemical, are discussed.
