These results suggest that the administration of atypical antipsychotic drugs for at least 6 months decreased glutamatergic neurotransmissions in the frontal lobe in early-stage first-episode schizophrenia, but there was no difference in frontal-lobe levels between patients and control subjects before administration.Conclusion: Taking these findings into account, the glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons are implicated in early-stage first-episode schizophrenia, but in complex ways.Keywords: Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy, creatine, frontal lobe, parieto-occipital node, left basal gangliaGoto NYoshimura RKakeda SNishimura JMoriya JHayashi KKatsuki AHori HUmen-Nakano WIkenouchi-Sugita AKorogi YNakamura JDove Medical PressarticleNeurosciences.
