## Abstract Little is known about the developing mechanisms of visual hallucinations in Parkinson's disease. This study aimed to investigate perfusion changes in parkinsonian patients with visual hallucinations using __n__βisopropylβ__p__β[^123^I]iodoamphetamine ([^123^I]IMP) single photon emission

## Abstract A genetic association between schizophrenia and a silent C/T(102) polymorphism in the 5βHT2A receptor gene (__5βHT2AR__) has been previously reported; however, the mechanisms underlying this association remain unknown. Here we developed an improved quantitative assay for measurements of
Alterations in the 5-HT2A receptor gene expression in the prefrontal cortex have been suggested to play a role in the pathophysiology and pharmacotherapy of schizophrenia. This study measured mRNA encoding 5-HT2A receptor in the left superior frontal gyrus from chronic elderly schizophrenics (n Ο 21
The role of serotonin in CNS function and in many neuropsychiatric diseases (e.g., schizophrenia, affective disorders, degenerative dementias) support the development of a reliable measure of serotonin receptor binding in vivo in human subjects. To this end, the regional distribution and intrasubjec
