Dipyridamole monotherapy in schizophrenia: pilot of a novel treatment approach by modulation of purinergic signaling.

abstract：:The differential sensitivity of young and elderly healthy adults to the impairment effects of benzodiazepines was assessed by tasks with several levels of difficulty. Using a double-blind procedure, single doses of placebo, alprazolam (0.75 and 1.5 mg) and triazolam (0.25 and 0.5 mg) were ingested orally by 10 young m...
