Abstract
The author found abnormalities of ocular movement including abnormal blink rate and blink reflex to glabellar tap in 34 of 44 medication-free schizophrenic patients. It is not clear whether these signs represent part of the pathology of schizophrenia or result from withdrawal of neuroleptic treatment.Keywords
