Description
Summary:A schedule (the Cambridge Neurological Inventory) has been constructed for standardized neurological assessment of psychiatric patients. Normative data and data resulting from its application to a group of patients with schizophrenia are reported. The instrument is comprehensive, reliable, and easy to administer. In conjunction with other forms of clinical assessment, it may be useful for identifying soft neurological signs and other patterns of neurological impairment relevant to neurobiological localization and prognosis in schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders.
