Methods:The patients were assessed by the Halstead-Reitan neuropsychological Battery (HRB). Results:Nearly 3/4 patients did not show any significant sign of brain damage. The performances on TPT localization?sensory memory, and speech function were poor in patients who suffered from mild brain damage. Level of brain damage was not related to duration of illness and drug dosage. However, results of the neuropsychological functioning may be affected by drugs taken by patients. Conclusion:Global impairment in neuropsychological functioning was not found in most of the patients. However, mild impairment in the sensory memory and sound discrimination functions were noted.展开更多
