FRONTAL ALPHA ASYMMETRY IN YOUTH AT CLINICAL HIGH-RISK FOR PSYCHOSIS.

Results indicated that CHR and healthy controls did not differ in frontal alpha asymmetry scores. However, in CHR youth, frontal alpha asymmetry was inversely correlated with the motivation and pleasure dimension of negative symptoms, which was accounted for by mood symptoms. Findings suggest that depression contributes to reduced approach motivation in CHR youth that manifests clinically as negative symptoms.
