  • Anissa Abi-Dargham, USA
    Relationships between dopamine function and clinical dimensions
  • Douglas Blackwood, UK
    Chromosomal abnormalities and psychosis
  • Siegfried Tuinier, The Netherlands
    Psychoses as an aspecific expression of disordered brain function
  • José Luis Vázquez-Barquero, Spain
    Effectiveness and metabolic alterations of conventional and atypical antipsychotics in first episode psychosis

S3. COGNITIVE SYMPTOMS

  • Trevor Archer, Sweden
