evels-of-Processing Effects in First-Degree Relatives f Individuals with Schizophrenia

ackground: First-degree relatives of individuals with schizophrenia show cognitive impairments that are similar to but less severe than heir ill relatives. We have shown that memory impairments can be improved and prefrontal cortical (PFC) activity increased in individuals ith schizophrenia by providing beneficial encoding strategies. The current study used a similar paradigm to determine whether siblings of ndividuals with schizophrenia (SIBs) also show increases in brain activity when presented with beneficial encoding strategies.
