Longitudinal grey-matter and glutamatergic losses in first-episode schizophrenia

Are glutamatergic changes in patients with schizophrenia correlated with grey-matter losses during the first years of illness?

Dr Raj Persaud interviews Dr Jean Théberge, Assistant-Professor based at the Department of Diagnostic Imaging, St Joseph’s Health Hospital, London, Ontario (University of Western Ontario).

Dr Théberge published a paper in the October issue of the British Journal of Psychiatry which aims to determine whether glutamatergic changes in patients with schizophrenia are correlated with grey-matter losses during the first years of illness.
