CNS Vital Signs (CNSVS), composed of: - Verbal and visual memory - Finger tapping - Symbol-digit coding - Stroop Test - Shifting Attention Test - Continuous Performance Test

- The Digit Symbol Test of the WAIS - TMT - The Cancellation Test - The Test of Selected Reminding and Restricted Reminding (Buschke)

- Perseverative errors (WCST) - Non-perseverative errors (WCST) - Categories completed (WCST) - Logical Memory Subscale (WMS) - Digit Symbol Substitution (WAIS-R) - Arithmetic (WAIS-R) - Block design (WAIS-R)

(WCST-1 cat)

Patients on lamotrigine had the best scores on the (summarized) scores of CNSVS, followed in order by patients on oxcabazepine, lithium, topiramate, valproic acid and carbamazepine

No significant difference was found on any of the cognitive tests between patients on lithium, patients on carbamazepine, medication free patients and healthy controls

Both patients on lithium and valproate had significantly worse scores on the Logical Memory Subscale compared with controls (ES=0.17). The patient groups did not differ from each other

- 4 items of the Medical Outcomes Study Cognitive Scale (MOS-Cog) - AB-Neurological Assessments Scale (AB-NAS)

- CVLT - WCST - Verbal Fluency - Stroop Test - TMT - Digits (WAIS)

Use of antipsychotics was associated with: - lower IQ (as measured by the WAIS-R; r=-0.57) - lower WMS scores (r=-0.3) - lower working memory index scores (r=-0.32)

Improved MOS-Cog scores (independent of concomitant valproate, antipsychotics or antidepressants)

Improved MOS-cog and AB-NAS scores

Patients on lamotrigine had significantly higher scores on the phonemic task of the verbal fluency compared with patients on other anticonvulsants (Cohen’s d=1.01)

Patients on quetiapine extended release did not show significantly improved cognitive function after 6 weeks

The olanzapine group had significantly lower scores on the recognition of the CVLT task than the unmedicated group Patients on olanzapine had increased PANSS cognition scores relative to patients on placebo
