A group of patients with paranoid schizophrenia treated with aminazine and leponex were examined. Using the component analysis, the integral characteristics of the EEGs--the main components describing principal organizational variants of the background EEG--were obtained. An analysis of the components showed the generalized synchronous and activating effects of the deep cerebral structures to be involved in the formation of these variants of the EEG organization. The components obtained proved to be important for the prognosis of therapy efficacy and the selection of an optimal psychotropic agent.
