NCT00235274

Brief Summary

The overarching purpose of the proposed study is to determine Secretin's (RG1068) psychophysiological effects on measures of motor learning, affective, and inhibitory information processing in individuals with schizophrenia. Motor learning will be assessed with a classical eye-blink conditioning procedure, requiring the learning of a reflexive eye-blink response to a weak puff of air to the eye.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Motor learning will be assessed with a classical eye-blink conditioning procedure, requiring the learning of a reflexive eye-blink response to a weak puff of air to the eye.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Effects of Secretin will be tested on affect modulation, pre-pulse inhibition, and pre-pulse facilitation of the acoustic startle response using common psychophysiological research procedures.
