Brain structure in narcissistic personality disorder: A VBM and DTI pilot study
@article{Nenadi2015BrainSI, title={Brain structure in narcissistic personality disorder: A VBM and DTI pilot study}, author={I. Nenadi{\'c} and D. G{\"u}llmar and M. Dietzek and K. Langbein and Christian Gaser}, journal={Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging}, year={2015}, volume={231}, pages={184-186} }
We analysed T1-weighted MRI scans using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and tract-based spatial statistics (TBBS) on diffusion tensor images (DTI) in narcissistic personality disorder (NaPD) patients and healthy controls. Grey matter deficits include right prefrontal and bilateral medial prefrontal/anterior cingulate cortices, and decreased fractional anisotropy in right frontal lobe white matter.
