J Psychiatr Res 39:365-70. 2005..441). In contrast to previous studies in patients treated with typical neuroleptics, this cross-sectional MRI study did not find significant differences in CNV of neuroleptic-naive first-episode patients compared to healthy controls...
Positron emission tomography imaging using an inverse agonist radioligand to assess cannabinoid CB1 receptors in rodentsGarth Terry
Molecular Imaging Branch, National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, MD 20892 2035, USA

Schizophrenia and Continuing Care Program, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada
J Clin Psychiatry 63:992-7. 2002..Future studies aimed at evaluating the relative merits of "transiently high" versus "continuously high" D(2) occupancy are warranted...

Psychopharmacology (Berl) 162:42-9. 2002..Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) are common with conventional antipsychotics. Clozapine and other novel antipsychotic substances with lower in vitro affinity for dopamine-2 (D(2)) receptors have a lower propensity to induce EPS...
Relationship between power spectra of the awake EEG and psychomotor activity patterns measured by short-term actigraphyDietmar Winkler
Department of General Psychiatry, University Hospital for Psychiatry, Vienna, Austria
Neuropsychobiology 48:176-81. 2003..Our results, while preliminary, suggest that short-term actigraphy may be apt to reflect central nervous system arousal...
