    Abstract

    Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) measurements and psychiatric ratings were performed on seven schizophrenic patients (mean age = 41.4 years) who had been examined 18 years previously in a study that used similar psychiatric ratings and a comparable rCBF technique. Neither the clinical symptomatology nor the rCBF level and distribution had changed appreciably between 1972 and 1990. The findings indicate that cerebral functional activity in chronic schizophrenia remains constant in spite of continuous neuroleptic medication.
