Melatonin effects in a patient with severe REM sleep behavior disorder: case report and theoretical considerations.

abstract：:To examine volumetric abnormality, the caudate nucleus was measured in patients with schizophrenia and healthy subjects using magnetic resonance imaging. The absolute and relative volumes of white matter in the caudate nucleus were found to be significantly smaller in patients with schizophrenia compared to those in h...
