Correlation between reduced in vivo benzodiazepine receptor binding and severity of psychotic symptoms in schizophrenia [published erratum appears in Am J Psychiatry 1997 May;154(5):722]

Abstract

These preliminary results are consistent with previous research implicating limbic cortical regions in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, suggesting that reduced inhibitory GABAergic tone in these areas may contribute to the appearance of schizophrenic symptoms.
