TL;DR: Local cerebral uptake of deoxyglucose labeled with fluorine 18 was measured by positron-emission tomography in eight patients with schizophrenia and in six age-matched normal volunteers, indicating relatively lower glucose use than normal control subjects.

TL;DR: CNS dysfunctioning in children with obsessive-compulsive disorder, with possible right cerebral involvement, is suggested, although the patients' neuropsychological test deficits and VBRs were not correlated.

TL;DR: Examination of the correlations of these three CT scan measures found them to be significantly related to each other, and the similarity of CT scan results argues against ascribing these abnormalities to any one psychiatric disorder or to a specific drug effect.

TL;DR: It is proposed that both state- and trait-dependent variables affect dopamine turnover, and patients without brain atrophy who had dopamine utilization above the mean showed more psychotic symptoms and shorter duration of illness, while those with dopamine below the mean had more negative symptoms.

TL;DR: These decreased cerebral spinal fluid concentrations in patients with brain atrophy support the proposal of disturbed noradrenaline and dopamine neurotransmission in a subgroup of schizophrenic patients.
