title: Cerebellar vermal size predicts drug response in schizophrenic patients: a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study.
abstract: 1. In schizophrenic patients, a good drug response was associated with a small cerebellar vermis brain ratio (CVBR). 2. It was possible to predict drug response with a higher statistical significance based on CVBR, especially in nonfamilial patients with schizophrenia.
