Extract

In 1963, one of us reported that serum from schizophrenic patients, applied topically to the cerebral cortex of the rat, produced a large increase in the amplitude of the electrical response evoked in the cortex by cutaneous stimulation (German, 1963). This effect was not observed when serum from non-schizophrenic control subjects was used.
