Autonomic nervous system dysfunction in schizophrenia: impact on cognitive and metabolic health
Abstract Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by a wide range of positive, negative and cognitive symptoms, along with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease that contribute to a 15–20-year reduced life expectancy. Autonomic dysfunction, in the form...
