anita - Right-Sided Rage

Posted by Cam W. on November 3, 2000, at 21:34:11

anita - I talked to Dr.Purdon and he thinks that if the location of the lesion causing rage is on the right side, then he says it sounds plausible that Risperdal might work, but he also said that the study hasn't been published, let alone duplicated. Therefore, he will not give a definite answer to the question, because he is not absolutely sure that what he is photographing with his PET scans is factual. It needs to be proven.

I was reading the new journal articles (November issues of many journals have come out). I found an interesting PET study that mentions that Risperdal decreased regional metabolism in the right thalamus and the right ventral striatum in volunteers with schizophrenia. This may be some proof of Dr.Purdon's work. The study URL is below:

Check the paragraph between Table 1 and Table 2 in the results section. - Cam
