- A first-degree family history of schizophrenia if the participant is less than 33 years old.
- Significant active physical illness, including blood dyscrasias, lymphomas, hypersplenism, endocrinopathies, renal failure, chronic obstructive lung disease, autonomic neuropathies, peripheral vascular disease. Any disorders with inflammation, malignancy, autoimmune or infectious etiology. Systemic blood pressure >140 or diastolic blood pressure >100. Hemoglobin <11 in females or <13 in males.

- Metal implants, pacemaker, metal prostheses, metal orthodontic appliances or shrapnel in the body
Current, past or anticipated exposure to radiation, including
- Having been badged for radiation exposure in the workplace
- Participation in nuclear medicine protocols in the last year* *Participants will be eligible, however, if the injected dose and dosimetry of the radiotracer are known and the cumulative annual exposure of the previous studies and this study is lower than the annual limit for research participants defined by FDA (21 CFR 361.1)
- History of claustrophobia that would prevent the participation in neuroimaging
Weight >350 lbs or inability to fit into the MRI scanner**
** If there are doubts that the MRI scanner can accommodate the physical dimensions of the participant, the participant's circumference may be measured to determine if it is less than the MR scanner limit of 55 cm. The participant may also be brought to the MRI Center and the MRI technologist will assess whether the participant will be able to fit into the MRI scanner. Metal screening and urine pregnancy testing will be done in this circumstance before the participant enters the MRI area.
- Current anticoagulant or anti-platelet treatment including aspirin if needed daily
- Risks of delay to treatment of known efficacy (up to 9 weeks) are too great for the participant. Risks to consider include A) Severity of presenting symptoms B) History of symptom fluctuations or deterioration C) Psychosocial conditions that make delay to treatment unreasonable
