Abstract

The dynamics of neuropsychological and neurophysiological markers of cognitive functions was analyzed in the groups of the first-episode young male patients. Totally 90 patients have been studied. At the early stage of remission, the improvement of the processes associated with voluntary regulation of cognition caused by the activity of the wide circuit of cortical and subcortical structures was found. At the same time, the more automated processes related mostly with the temporal brain areas remained abnormal. The peculiarities of neurocognitive dynamics during the development of the remission were revealed in the groups of patients with different syndrome structure of the first episode (catatonic, delusion/hallucination, affective-delusion).
