aPANSS response defined as ≥20% reduction from baseline in PANSS total score.

bFor PANSS nonresponders, n = 75 for complex loops and left-right loops tasks.

cCGI-S response defined as ≥2-point improvement from baseline in CGI-S score.

dFor CGI-S nonresponders, n = 101 for complex loops and left-right loops tasks.

%NBM, percentage of nonballistic movements; CGI-S, Clinical Global Impression-Severity Scale; PANSS, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale.
