[The genetic aspects of the neuropsychology of verbal memory in schizophrenia].

Genetic study methods were used while examining the families with schizophrenic patients to study the relationships between computerized tomographic and resting ECG parameters with memory for information, which differed in degrees and ways of organization. In patients, memory performance was affected both by genotype-controlled high-frequency alpha-rhythm subranges and by integral delta-rhythm values determined by environmental factors. A significant role of the right hemisphere was found for all forms of remembering. In a group of relatives, predictors of different memory forms differed in frequency and topographic characteristics to a greater degree. These predictors mainly included neuromorphological parameters and power values of alpha-rhythm ranges. Most predictors were under considerable genetic determination.
