Core Tip	In this study, the relationship between the changes of neurotransmitter and brain structure characteristics and Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) score in patients with first episodes of schizophrenia was investigated. It was found that there were differences in the levels of dopamine, glutamic acid and gamma-aminobutyric acid in the brain of the study subjects, as well as the brain structure characteristics detected by magnetic resonance imaging between the two groups, and there is a certain correlation with PANSS score.
