Abstract

Schizophrenic patients who showed greater neuropsychological deficits on the Luria-Nebraska Pathognomonic subscale (PATH) and Trail-Making Test showed less improvement during treatment with neuroleptic drugs than patients with lower scores on these neuropsychological tests. Other neuropsychological test scores we used were not consistently related to the patients' degree of clinical improvement during neuroleptic treatment. Only a few patients evidenced severe scores on either the PATH or TM tests, suggesting that more subtle neuropsychological deficits may identify a subgroup of schizophrenics who will show a relatively poor response to treatment with standard neuroleptic drugs.
