The results of a psychophysiological (conditioning) analysis of chronic schizophrenia are presented, and a relationship between the level of psychophysiological performance and differential drug withdrawal effects is revealed. Regression from a higher to a lower level of organization, for example, from integrational to skeletomuscular or from skeletomuscular to autonomic functional systems, and dissociation within a functional system or between the different functional systems tested, were shown to be prevalent in schizophrenic patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
