Abstract
The role of cognitive variables was compared in two single cases of schizop
hrenia hypofrontality. SPECT procedures and neuropsychological tests were u
sed to study frontal brain function. After cognitive rehabilitation, neurop
sychological performance were enhanced in both patients, but only one of th
em showed enhanced the frontal blood flow. The brain perfusion changes afte
r cognitive rehabilitation could be associated with the cognitive-dependent
hypofrontality. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved
