Study Summary

This study aims to evaluate the acute effects of nimodipine on cognitive performance in patients with schizophrenia using a battery of cognitive assessments.The subjects will also complete a 30-minute structural and functional MRI scan, with the goal of linking brain activity with working memory performance. Investigators predict that the performance increase induced by nimodipine will be greater in subjects who carry the A allele for the Calcium Voltage-Gated Channel Subunit Alpha1 C (CACNA1C) risk single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs1006737) in comparison to the response of G carriers.

Primary Outcome

participants will complete an MRI scan to link brain activity with cognitive performance. Measures will be recorded in Arbitrary units.

Interventions

  • DRUG Placebo oral capsule
  • DRUG Nimodipine
