Subscribe/Renew Journal
Patients with schizophrenia perform poorly on various cognitive functions tasks. Of late, there is surge in interest in determining the endophenotypic value of cognitive functions in schizophrenia. The present study was conducted aiming to understand the status and endophenotypic value of working memory and verbal memory in schizophrenia. Fifteen schizophrenia patients, their healthy siblings (N=15) and healthy controls (N=15) participated in the study. Patients performed significantly poorer than the healthy controls. Siblings of patients with schizophrenia also performed poorly than the healthy controls. Findings have been discussed in the light of endophenotypic value of verbal memory and working memory in schizophrenia.
