Regional thinning of the cerebral cortex in schizophrenia: Effects of diagnosis, age and antipsychotic medication

Cortical Thinning in Cingulate and Occipital Cortices in First Episode Schizophrenia

Regionally specific cortical thinning and gray matter abnormalities in the healthy relatives of schizophrenia patients.

The results of this study suggest that the cortical regions most affected by the unexpressed genetic liability to schizophrenia may be the cingulate and temporal regions--regions associated with higher level cognitive, affective, and memory functions.

Cortical thickness reduction in individuals at ultra-high-risk for psychosis.

It is suggested that UHR is associated with cortical thinning in regions that correspond to the structural abnormalities found in schizophrenia, which might reflect functional decline at the prodromal stage of schizophrenia, and there may be progressive thinning of GM cortex over time.

Changes in cortical thickness in the frontal lobes in schizophrenia are a result of thinning of pyramidal cell layers

Reduced pyramidal layer thickness resulting in decreased frontal lobe thickness in schizophrenia is demonstrated, and there was no effect of lateralization.

Associations of cortical thickness and cognition in patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls.

This study provides additional evidence for a disrupted structure-function relationship in schizophrenia, and suggests schizophrenia patients may engage a larger compensatory network of brain regions other than frontal cortex to recall and manipulate verbal material in working memory.

Cortical abnormalities in schizophrenia identified by structural magnetic resonance imaging.

A new method to segment the entire neocortex into 48 topographically defined brain regions suggested the importance of the paralimbic areas and their connections with prefrontal brain regions in schizophrenia.

Volume changes in gray matter in patients with schizophrenia.

The finding that the smaller gray matter volume was more pronounced in older patients with schizophrenia may suggest progressive loss of cerebral gray matter in schizophrenia patients.

Focal gray matter density changes in schizophrenia.

Gray matter density is decreased in distinct focal areas in the brains of patients with schizophrenia or schizophreniform disorder, with a group-by-age interaction for density found in the left amygdala.

Structural abnormalities in frontal, temporal, and limbic regions and interconnecting white matter tracts in schizophrenic patients with prominent negative symptoms.

Anatomical abnormalities in these schizophrenic patients with marked negative symptoms were most evident in left hemispheric neocortical and limbic regions and related white matter tracts, compatible with models that depict schizophrenia as a supraregional disorder of multiple, distributed brain regions and the axonal connections between them.

A computational morphometric MRI study of schizophrenia: effects of hallucinations.

MRI data confirm the utility of voxel-based morphometric methods in schizophrenia research and point towards disruption to a 'paralimbic' neural network, as underlying schizophrenic psychopathology in general, with abnormalities of the left insula specifically related to hallucinations.

Cortical and subcortical gray matter abnormalities in schizophrenia determined through structural magnetic resonance imaging with optimized volumetric voxel-based morphometry.

Observations confirm an association between thalamocortical morphometric abnormalities and schizophrenia, consistent with theoretical models of primary pathoetiological dysfunction in filtering, integration, and information transfer processes in patients with schizophrenia.

Regional frontal abnormalities in schizophrenia: a quantitative gray matter volume and cortical surface size study

Abnormalities of the left temporal lobe and thought disorder in schizophrenia. A quantitative magnetic resonance imaging study.

New MRI neuroimaging techniques are used to derive volume measurements and three-dimensional reconstructions of temporal-lobe structures in vivo in 15 right-handed men with chronic schizophrenia and 15 matched controls to discover the degree of thought disorder is related to the size of the reduction in volume of the left posterior superior temporal gyrus.

Neuropathological abnormalities in schizophrenia: evidence from magnetization transfer imaging.

It is demonstrated that MTR abnormalities in the cortex can be detected in chronic schizophrenia that may reflect subtle neuropathological changes involving neurones or neuronal processes and longitudinal studies are needed to determine whether these abnormalities are related to disease progression or other disease manifestations such as cognitive changes.

Physiological dysfunction of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in schizophrenia revisited.

The data suggest that under certain conditions the physiological ramifications of dorsal PFC neuronal pathology in schizophrenia includes exaggerated and inefficient cortical activity, especially of lateral PFC.
