“…These data also agree with several previous studies which found low autonomic nervous system reactivity to stress and noxious stimulation in chronic schizophrenics (Hock, Kubis, & Rouke, 1944;Malmo et al, 1951;Williams, 1953). Malmo and Shagass (1949); Williams (1953); Venables and Wing (1962);and Venables (1964) reported that the resting level of sympathetic nervous system activity was higher in chronic schizophrenic patients than in acufe^schizophrenics,.and normals. The data presented above do not support these earlier findings.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Schizophrenia has been connected both with a sensory overflow, an overloaded perceptual system (McGhie & Chapman, 1961), and also with high arousal (Venables & Wing, 1962). This confirms many earlier works.…”

“…Thus more changes were observed in the depressed patients than in the schizophrenic patients. The results of a different kind of study of chronic schizophrenic patients by Venables and Wing 15 showed similar results to ours. From the results of the skin potential level and the fusion threshold of paired light flashes, they discovered that there is a parallel relationship between the level of withdrawal from activities and the arousal level among chronic schizophrenic patients, excluding the paranoid type.…”
