Abstract

Quantitative analysis of changes in the autocorrelation structure of EEG short segments (in the range of several seconds) was performed in healthy adolescents (n = 39) and adolescents with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (n = 39). The variability of the EEG autocorrelation structure was shown to be higher in patients with the greatest trend in the frontal leads. It is suggested that psychopathology of the schizophrenia spectrum is accompanied by a break in the mutual determination of cortical neural networks with predominant localization of this process in the frontal areas of the brain cortex.
