There have been many reports on the Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) abnormalities, especially P300 amplitudes reduction, in schizophrenic patients. However the relationships between P300 abnormalities and schizophrenic subtypes have not been clarified. This study aims to investigate the relationships in a relatively large number of drug free schizophrenics. Seventy three unmedicated schizophrenic patients (45 males, 28 females) who met the DSM-III-R criteria for schizophrenia were tested. Twenty seven of the schizophrenics were paranoid type according to the DSM-III-R, 23 were undifferentiated, 19 were disorganized, 2 catatonic and 2 residual. Seventy three healthy controls were age and gender matched to the patient group. All the ERPs were recorded during auditory odd ball task. Stimuli consists of 2 kHz and 1 kHz tone bursts, and the respective probabilities of the rare and frequent stimuli were 0.2 and 0.8. They were presented random order. The duration of each stimulus was 90 msec with rise and fall times of 10 msec, and the intensity was approximately 70 dB SPL for all the stimuli. The inter-stimulus intervals were 1.7 +/- 0.1 seconds. The subjects were instructed to count the numbers of rare tones. The scalp EEGs were recorded from Ag-AgCl electrodes at 16 sites that referred to linked earlobes. P300 amplitudes reduction [F (1,144) = 39.33, p < 0.001] and P300 latencies prolongation [F (1,144) = 12.41, p < 0.001] were found in schizophrenic group as a whole. Lower amplitude of P300 was observed at both right and left temporal sites in the subjects with undifferentiated type and disorganized type. Although in the subjects with paranoid type, the reduction was recognized at left temporal region, reduced amplitude was not seen at right temporal site. While no relationships between P300 amplitudes, the score of BPRS and SAPS were detected, in the patient with paranoid type, significant negative correlation between P300 amplitudes and SANS total scores was observed (r = -0.425, p = 0.03) at Pz site. These results were discussed with respect to cognitive impairment of schizophrenia.
