title: Hypometabolism in olfactory cortical projection areas of male patients with schizophrenia: an initial positron emission tomography study.
abstract: Several studies have reported olfactory deficits in schizophrenic patients. This study examines local cerebral metabolic rate within two cortical areas in eight normal men and eight schizophrenic men. A significantly greater degree of hypometabolism was observed in the schizophrenic men in the cortical area of the nondominant hemisphere that receives direct uncrossed olfactory projections.
