Abstract

Cognition deficit is one of the most common symptoms of schizophrenia, including abstract thinking and memory, and attention deficits. Previous studies have suggested that the improvement of cognition is very important for the recovery of disease and social function for the patients. Recent studies indicated that two new atypical antipsychotics, blonanserin and lurasidone, are expected to improve the cognitive impairment in patients with schizophrenia. This review introduces pathogenesis of cognitive impairment in schizophrenia, mechanisms of blonanserin and lurasidone in the improvement of cognitive impairment and progress in their clinical application for schizophrenia. We hope that this review could guide clinical use of antipsychotics and provide new directions for future studies.

认知功能障碍是精神分裂症常见症状之一,主要表现为抽象思维、记忆、注意等方面的障碍。认知功能的改善对患者疾病康复、社会功能恢复具有至关重要的意义。近来研究表明新型非典型抗精神病药物布南色林和鲁拉西酮具有独特的受体作用机制,有望使患者认知功能障碍得到更好的改善。笔者从精神分裂症患者认知功能障碍的病因机制入手,综述布南色林和鲁拉西酮改善精神分裂症患者认知功能的作用机制;介绍两种药物的临床应用进展,以便更好地指导临床用药,为进一步研究提供新方向。.
