Extract

German (1961, 1963) reported that serum from schizophrenic patients, in contrast to that from normal individuals and non-schizophrenic patients, when applied topically to the rat cerebral cortex, increased the amplitude of potentials evoked in the somato-sensory area by stimulation of the contralateral forepaw. Furthermore, similar changes were found when urine extracts were tested in the same manner (German and Kemali, 1963; Kemali, 1964).
