Do young adolescents with first-episode psychosis or ADHD show sensorimotor gating deficits?

CONCLUSION: Young adolescents with SZ showed sensorimotor gating deficits similar to those usually found in adults with SZ and had larger startle magnitude than patients with other types of non-affective early-onset psychosis. No sensorimotor gating deficits were found in adolescents with ADHD. Our findings support the theory that deficient PPI is endophenotypic for SZ. PMID: 30873927 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
