  1. Associations between PANSS scores (total and positive, negative and general subscale scores), chlorpromazine-equivalent dose and duration of illness and [11C]UCB-J VT were explored in the schizophrenia group (n = 18) in the hippocampus, frontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex. There were no significant associations between PANSS scores, chlorpromazine-equivalent dose or duration of illness and [11C]UCB-J VT in any of the regions of interest. All correlation coefficients reported are Pearson product–moment correlation coefficients, except where use of italics signifies Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients for nonparametric data
