Abstract
SCHIZOPHRENIA HAS been characterized by executive function, attention, memory, and general intellectual deficits. Intellectual decline may occur subsequent to onset of schizophrenia.1-3 In monozygotic twin pairs discordant for schizophrenia, Goldberg et al4 demonstrated a 10-point IQ discrepancy in favor of the unaffected twin. Longitudinal studies support intellectual decline,5,6 as do studies of first-episode patients.1Keywords
