Abstract
Olfactory discrimination was measured in patients with schizophrenia who were on neuroleptic
medication and was compared with other psychiatric patients receiving neuroleptics
and normal controls. The performance of the patients with schizophrenia was significantly
lower than the psychiatric and normal controls. The latter two groups performed at
equivalent levels. The findings are discussed with respect to olfactory deficits found
in patients with cerebral lesions and with abnormalities of specific neurotransmitter
systems.
