Abstract

Spontaneous single unit activity following application of blood serum from schizophrenic patients and normal subjects was studied on neurons of isolated nerve ganglia ofHelix pomatia by a microelectrode technique. Application of blood serum from schizophrenic patients inhibits unit activity; it is not altered by blood serum of healthy subjects. In descending order of biological action of their blood serum, patients with different forms of schizophrenia can be arranged as follows: progressive, indolent, active intermittent and intermittent in remission.
