Imbalance in glutamatergic systems is implicated in the pathophysiology of psychosis. The purpose of this study was to assess differences in metabolite levels between subjects with a first episode of psychosis (FEP) and healthy controls, and to study correlations between metabolites and measures of disease severity, including neuropsychological scales, positive and negative symptoms.
