| E.2 Objective of the trial | 
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial | 
| Basical and clinical data suggest its potential for the treatment in early stages of the illness, when the deterioration rate can be faster. In this project our aim is to confirm that clozapine may limit the rate of gray matter loss and functional deterioration in a greater degree than any other antipsychotic. This hypothesis is based upon the likely hyper-glutamatergic cortical state in schizophrenia, with possible toxic consequences. We pretend to assess 60 first episodes of schizophrenia, that will be followed for 2 years using clinical data and magnetic resonance (volumetric and spectroscopic, determining the levels of NAA and glutamate). We will also acquire neuropsychological related to prefrontal functions. A group of 30 subjects will be treated with clozapine and the other 30 patients with risperidone.  The outcome in clinical, neuropsychological and cerebral parameters will be compared between the patients groups and with a healthy control group.
