...It has been suggested that the profile of symptoms in NMDA-R encephalitis depends on the intensity of the antibody effects on the density of NMDA-R,(17) which is similar to observations after ketamine hydrochloride and phencyclidine hydrochloride administration.(18,19) Low doses of these NMDA-R antagonists cause psychosis, anxiety, agitation, memory disturbance, decreased responsiveness to pain, and speech reduction, whereas higher doses produce dissociative anesthesia, a state of profound unresponsiveness with catatonic features, orofacial and limb dyskinesias, autonomic instability, and seizures....

...Thus, the increased prevalence of IgA NMDA-R antibodies in the schizophrenia cohort suggests an immunological link to Emil Kraepelin’s “dementia praecox” concept.(39) This idea may be clarified in future studies by providing additional cognitive test data from patients seropositive for IgA NMDA-R antibodies....
