5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to better understand brain function and psychiatric and neurological illness when taking Invega or Risperdal. The objective is to compare the brain effects of Invega to Risperdal in patients with Schizophrenia. This comparison will be evaluated with PET imaging, fMRI, and neurological ratings and assessments.
