Patients with chronic schizophrenia were examined by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. Subgroups of the syndrome with high positive or high negative symptom scores and ventricular dilatation were compared with each other and with normal controls in respect of regional spin lattice relaxation time (T1) changes. Significant differences were not observed between the schizophrenic subgroups and controls but there were significant differences between the subgroups themselves. The presence of tardive dyskinesia was associated with increased T1 of the basal ganglia. The significance of these results is discussed in relation to findings using other techniques.

Abstract Nuclear magnetic resonance measurements have been made on natural rubber to examine how frequency, temperature, and crystallinity affect the nuclear relaxation. Moecular motions were studied by observing NMR linewidths and spin-lattice relaxation times at temperatures between −100° and 100° C, and at radio frequencies between 2 and 60 Mc. The effect of crystallinity was seen in measurements on stark rubber. The relation between frequency and temperature in the spin-lattice relaxation process is examined in terms of the Arrhenius equation and the WLF expression. The importance of using frequency as a variable in NMR studies of molecular motion is stressed.

Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry is used to observe changes in the spin-lattice relaxation time ( T1) of the alkyl chain carbons of symmetric tetraalkylammonium salts ( R4N+) X− in acetonitrile as a function of salt concentration in the range from 0.25 to 1.4 M. The T1 values of the alkyl chain carbons are observed to be differentially sensitive to salt concentration, the sensitivity being greatest at the α carbon position. These observations suggest accessibility of the cation nitrogen to solvent molecules and changing microviscosity about the salt molecule.
