Are you starting antipsychotic medication? Are you 18-40 years old? You may be eligible for a research study to answer specific questions about how the treatment of schizophrenia with antipsychotic medication works. Compensation is provided.
You will undergo brain imaging on a 7 Tesla MRI scanner during treatment initiation. The scan itself consists of you lying down on a table, which then slides into the scanner to take pictures of your brain. We provide you with earplugs to reduce the noise level in the scanner. You will be asked to lie still in the scanner for approximately one and a half hours. We will then assess symptoms and how you are doing with treatment every two weeks until the 8-week point, when we will rescan you with the same procedures. We will also check in with you at 24 weeks to assess your overall treatment more long term. We will not be involved in treatment, but will just follow you as you undergo antipsychotic treatment by your regular providers. Baseline and 8-week visits will last about 1 and a half hours, excluding the scan. All other study visits (2,4,6,24 weeks) will last about 45 minutes.
