P2-28. Single-event-related changes in Oxy-Hb during verbal discrimination tasks in schizophrenic patients: Correlation with the symptom

Schizophrenic patients have been associated with cognitive dysfunction including attention and executive functions. “Shiritori” is a very popular word chain game in Japan. This game requires players to generate a word that begins with the last syllable of the preceding word. The present study assessed the difference of hemodynamic changes between schizophrenic patients and healthy controls during a Japanese w ord production task (shiritori) based on a single-event-related design measured by a multi-channel NIRS system.
