Brief summary

* To estimate dopamine receptor occupancy by aripiprazole using computer simulation * To measure dopamine receptor occupancy by aripiprazole in patients treated with the antipsychotics * To validate the simulation result by comparing the receptor occupancy from the simulation with that from the patients
