Production de rythmes dans la schizophrénie : rôle central de l'attention

This study revealed deficits in the timing of action that resemble, at least on a behaviour level, the clinical lapses observed in schizophrenia. These lapses seem to be correlated to the degree of attention deficits. Future studies are now required in order to gain better understanding of the nature of the attention deficits in schizophrenia. More specifically, a better definition of the possible functional relationship between clinical lapses, cognitive lapses and action freezing is needed to develop innovating tools for rehabilitation.
