Abstract
Objective To investigate differences in brain function tests between patients with schizophrenia and normal controls.Methods 80 patients who met diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia of International Classification of Diseases (10th edition) received brain function tests,for the same period 52 cases of normal control also received brain function tests.Test results were compared to analyze differences in brain neurotransmitters.Results There were statistically significant differences in GABA and Glu neurotransmitters power between schizophrenia group and normal control group (t =-1.991,P =0.049; t =-2.228,P =0.028).There was statistically significant difference in glutamate neurotransmitter relative power between two groups (t =-2.115,P =0.036).There was statistically significant difference in neurotransmitters total power between two groups (t =-2.631,P =0.010).Conclusion Glutamate neurotransmitter power,relative neurotransmitters power and total neurotransmitters power in schizophrenia group were higher than those in normal control group,which suggested abnormal brain neurotransmitters function in patients with schizophrenia.
Key words:
Schizophrenia; Normal control group; Brain function tests
