A novel psychoanalytical approach: An electrochemical ligand-binding assay to screen antipsychotics

Sandro Carrara, Tugba Kilic

Schizophrenia treatment may see a paradigm shift due to development of new atypical antipsychotic drugs (APDs), with better tolerability due to more selective dopamine (DA) receptor blockade. Monitoring of these APD candidates in biological fluids is of gr ...

Electrophysiological Correlates of Visual Backward Masking in Schizotypy

Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Ophélie Gladys Favrod, Guillaume Sierro

Visual deficits are well documented in schizophrenia. For example, a Vernier is followed by a blank inter-stimulus interval (ISI) and then a grating mask. Observers indicate the direction of the Vernier offset (left vs right). Patients need ISIs that are 1 ...
