Cognitive impairment varies markedly among schizophrenic individuals,
although the reason for this is unknown. A monozygotic twin pair concordant
for schizophrenia was evaluated using electrophysiological and
neurobehavioral measures. Each twin showed a distinctive pattern of
deficits; furthermore, clinical course and electrophysiological activity
were not consonant with social and neurobehavioral functioning. Results
suggest complex interrelationships between neurocognitive functioning and
clinical presentation in schizophrenia.Abstract Teaser
