It is hypothesised that microglia, the primary immune cells in the brain, play a key role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. To address this, we investigated the effects of 3-month treatment with the monoclonal antibody natalizumab on a PET biomarker of microglia, CSF cytokines, and symptom measures in people with first-episode psychosis. I will be presenting unpublished findings from this study and future directions.
