TL;DR: In monozygotic twins discordant for trauma exposure, it is found evidence that smaller hippocampi indeed constitute a risk factor for the development of stress-related psychopathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: MRI scans found significant, inverse correlations between caudate nucleus volume and the severity of perseveration in two distinct working memory tasks in these neuroleptic-naive subjects with schizotypal personality disorder, which support the association of intrinsic pathology in the caudates nucleus with abnormalities in working memory in the schizophrenia spectrum.
