    An EEG Study of The Neurodevelopmental H PDF

    This document contains summaries of several studies and presentations about schizophrenia and related topics: 1) A study found that mild schizophrenia was better detected using a brain reaction time test than a brain imaging scan, and the brain scans of most subjects showed reduced blood flow in frontal and basal ganglia regions. 2) A presentation discussed using schools to teach self-regulation techniques to diabetes patients, especially those also experiencing mental health issues. The goals were to improve health, relieve stress, and facilitate social relationships. 3) An EEG study of adolescents and young adults found patterns in brain wave activity suggestive of dissociated neuronal activation in schizophrenia patients, potentially related to problems with working memory.
