Chunk #14 — DIMENSIONS OF PSYCHOPATHOLOGY IN NEUROLEPTIC-NAÏVE PATIENTS WITH RECENT-ONSET SCHIZOPHRENIA — EEG spectral profiles of positive and negative symptom sub-groups in neuroleptic-naïve patients with recent-onset schizophrenia
A limitation of the above study was the relatively small sample size of the PS (n=10) and NS (n=9) subgroups. Further, considering our sampling frequency of 256 Hz, we restricted our bandwidth for power estimation to 0.5-30 Hz for obtaining reliable results, thereby excluding gamma frequency, which has been shown to be abnormal in schizophrenia subjects especially following cognitive activation. Therefore, further studies with larger sample sizes need to be carried out to confirm these findings.
