The study of brain function in first-episode schizophrenia by functional MRI

Abstract

scores predicted lower intensity ratings accounting for about 10% of the variance in both conditions. EPQ-Extraversion and EPQ-Neuroticism explained 15% of the variance in TTR but in opposite directions. Higher EPQ-Neuroticism scores predicted lower SCR amplitude accounting for 8% of the variance. Conclusions: Measures of emotional reactivity show distinct patterns depending on experimental condition and personality characteristics.
