Cognitive deficits are an important feature of schizophrenia, particularly in the areas of working memory and executive function. However, their relationship to other clinical dimensions of the illness has remained elusive. We suggest that a phenomenological exploration of disordered intentionality in schizophrenia symptoms might provide us with a framework for understanding the role of cognitive deficits.

Article Synopsis
- Genetic factors play a significant role in determining human brain-wave patterns (EEG), with high concordance in monozygotic twins suggesting strong heritability.
- Research found that EEG concordance was lower in monozygotic twins both concordant and discordant for schizophrenia, indicating a complex relationship between genetics and the disorder.
- This suggests that schizophrenia-related EEG anomalies may arise from nongenetic processes, challenging traditional approaches in molecular-genetic studies aimed at linking schizophrenia with genetic vulnerabilities.
