B = parameter estimate; SE B = standard error of B; β = standardized B; F = F-test; P = p-value based on a t-test and the degrees of freedom as indicated by the error degrees of freedom of the F-test;

Δ= Change; BPND = non-displaceable Binding Potential; Baseline BPND = BPND before dose reduction; PANSS = Positive And Negative Syndrome Scale; RBANS = Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status
