An analysis of the contents of the young-onset dementia helpline: profiles of clients who consulted the helpline themselves.

Lateralization of Color Discrimination Performance and Lexical Effects in Patients With Chronic Schizophrenia.

Patients with schizophrenia experience various visual disturbances. However, information regarding color perception in these patients is rare. In this study, we used a lateralized color search task to investigate whether difference in color name affects color recognition in patients with schizophrenia.

Thalamocortical Hyperconnectivity and Amygdala-Cortical Hypoconnectivity in Male Patients With Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Analyses of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) have been performed to investigate pathophysiological changes in the brains of patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) relative to typically developing controls (CTLs). However, the results of these previous studies, which have reported mixed patterns of hypo- and hyperconnectivity, are controversial, likely due to the small sample sizes and limited age range of included participants. To overcome this issue, we analyzed multisite neuroimaging data from a large sample (n = 626) of male participants aged between 5 and 29 years (mean age = 13 years).

A review of impaired visual processing and the daily visual world in patients with schizophrenia.

Several studies have investigated perceptual processes in patients with schizophrenia. Research confirms that visual impairments are one of the most important features of schizophrenia. Many studies, using behavioral and psychological experiments, confirm that visual impairments can be used to determine illness severity, state, and best treatments.
