RESUMO
Project Mouthguard is a "win-win" situation for everyone involved. The athlete will be getting the best protection available for their dentition while they participate in school sports. The school will be able to prevent injuries, making sports participation safer and the job of the school's athletic trainer easier. Dentists will have an opportunity to do community service and help patients while also marketing their practice. The community will be aware of mouthguards, and those who participate in athletic activities can make more educated decisions on mouthguard use.

The relationship between measures of smooth pursuit and neuropsychological performance was assessed in 20 unmedicated schizophrenics. Eye-tracking measures included gain, catch-up saccade parameters, and rate of saccadic intrusions. Neuropsychological measures included tests generally considered as "frontal": Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Consonant Trigram Test (CTT), and Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT). The Digit Symbol Test (DST), which is generally considered to be a measure of global functioning, was also included. Gain and other pursuit measures were significantly correlated with the DST and the COWAT, but were not correlated with the WCST or the CTT.
