The cerebral microvasculature in schizophrenia: a laser capture microdissection study.
<h4>Background</h4>Previous studies of brain and peripheral tissues in schizophrenia patients have indicated impaired energy supply to the brain. A number of studies have also demonstrated dysfunction of the microvasculature in schizophrenia patients. Together these findings are consiste...
