Abstract

Schizotypal patients were found to have a significantly higher mean plasma HVA concentration than normal comparison subjects, Furthermore, plasma HVA concentration positively correlated with "psychotic-like" schizotypal symptoms. These results implicate dopaminergic mechanisms modulating the psychotic-like symptoms of schizotypal personality disorder.
