Researchers study the effects of cocaine on patients diagnosed with schizophrenia
Alejandro Fuertes-Saiz, fourth-year Psychiatry intern at the Hospital Provincial de Castellón and doctoral candidate at the CEU Cardenal Herrera (CEU UCH) University of Valencia, along with his thesis directors, Gonzalo Haro and Ana Benito, have just published in journal Brain Science the final results of three year-long research where they have studied the effects of cocaine on patients diagnosed with schizophrenia or antisocial personality disorder.
These results are the continuation of the ones presented in 2019 by the same authors in the Journal of Dual Diagnosis, where they identified an alteration shared between the two groups of patients in the ability to filter the sensory information of their surroundings.
