Presentation Abstract:

The phenomenology of schizotypy suggests that this constellation of traits represents a subclinical expression of schizophrenia. Neuropsychological and brain imaging studies are crucial to further bolster this claim. In this talk, I will present new results on cognitive, neuroimaging and pharmacological studies of schizotypy that aim to identify both similarities and dissimilarities between schizotypy and schizophrenia. Genetic risk populations are additionally considered to further demarcate the boundaries between these different schizophrenia spectrum populations. Higher-level, as well as basic cognitive and motor functions, are studied in the laboratory in relation to schizotypy, using both extreme groups and continuous sampling methods in healthy volunteers. Schizophrenia patients and clinically unaffected first-degree relatives of patients are studied for comparison. A replicable impairment in response inhibition is observed in high schizotypy. This impairment and its neural correlates overlap in part with the deficits seen in schizophrenia. The profile of impairment diverges, however, from that seen in relatives, who are mostly characterised by difficulties in complex sensorimotor transformations on oculomotor tasks. Evidence from pharmacological challenge studies points to selective tolerance of antipsychotic compounds in high, but not low, schizotypal individuals. The results from these recent studies support the conclusion that schizotypal traits in the general population represent a phenotype that bears resemblance with schizophrenia not only at the level of phenomenology but also at the levels of brain function, cognition and neurotransmitter system function.
