Abstract
Schizophrenia is a heterogeneous and multidimensional disorder. The di fferent syndromes or dimensions of this disorder represent distinct pa thophysiological processes. Evidence is growing that each of the compo site syndromes or dimensions of this disorder is associated with speci fic validators. This article reviewed neurophysiological and neuropsyc hological studies in schizophrenia in order to determine the external validators of its syndromes. The review reveals compelling findings in some instances and contradictory findings in other instances.
