The hallucination are common and have an important role in diagnosing schizophrenia. Objectives: To describe and to follow up the evolution of the hallucination in schizopprenia. 40 patients with schizophrenia met to ICD.10 criteria and have hallucination were treated by anti-psychotic drugs in National Institute of Mental Health from September 1999 to November 2000. Methods: cross - sectional study. Results: The hallucination symptoms in the patients were: 92.5% had auditory hallucination, 12.5% had visual hallucination and 2.5% had olfactory hallucination. Most of auditory hallucination was comments located in head. 91.6% hallucinations were disappeared when the patients were treated by anti-psychotic drugs. Conclusions: Most of hallucinations are auditory, visual and olfactory. Hallucinations are likely sensitive to anti-psychotic drug.

The hallucinations are common and have an important role in diagnosing schizophrenia. Objectives: To describe and to follow-up the evolution of the hallucinations in schizopprenia. 40 schizophrenic in patients in accordance with ICD.10 criteria, who have hallucinations, are treated by anti - psychotics in National Institute of Mental Health from September 1999 to November 2000. Methods: using the method of cross - sectional study. Results: The hallucinations of the patients were: 92.5% had auditory hallucination, 12.5% had visual hallucination and 2.5% had olfactory hallucination. Most of auditory hallucinations are comment, located in head. 91.6% hallucinations are disappeared when the patients were treated by antipsychotics. Conclusions: Most of hallucinations are auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations and olfactory hallucination. Hallucinations are likely sensitive to antipsychotics

While several hypotheses about the neural mechanisms underlying auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) have been suggested, the exact role of the recently highlighted intrinsic resting state activity of the brain remains unclear. Based on recent findings, we therefore developed what we call the 'resting state hypotheses' of AVH. Our hypothesis suggest that AVH may be traced back to abnormally elevated resting state activity in auditory cortex itself, abnormal modulation of the auditory cortex by anterior cortical midline regions as part of the default-mode network, and neural confusion between auditory cortical resting state changes and stimulus-induced activity. We discuss evidence in favour of our 'resting state hypothesis' and show its correspondence with phenomenal, i.e., subjective-experiential features as explored in phenomenological accounts. Therefore I speak of a 'neurophenomenal resting state hypothesis' of auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia.

The aim of this study was to investigate behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) measured by caregiver-administered neuropsychiatric inventory (CGA-NPI) as a function of dementia severity in early onset (EOAD) versus late onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). A total of 113 patients with AD consisting of 49 patients with EOAD and 64 patients with LOAD were enrolled consecutively. General cognitive function and severity of dementia were assessed by the Korean version of mini-mental status examination and clinical dementia rating (CDR), respectively. In the mild stage (CDR 0.5-1), LOAD patients had a significantly higher total CGA-NPI score than EOAD patients. Subgroup analysis demonstrated that disinhibition and night-time behavior were more common and severe in the LOAD group than the EOAD group. However, in the moderate to severe stage (CDR 2-3), EOAD patients had a significantly higher total CGA-NPI score with higher subscores in hallucination, agitation/aggression, irritability/lability, aberrant motor behavior, and appetite/eating change. This study suggested that the heterogeneity of BPSD in AD might be accounted for by dementia severity as well as age at symptoms onset.
