Journal ArticleDOI

Naohiro Okada,Masaki Fukunaga,Fumio Yamashita,Daisuke Koshiyama,Hidenaga Yamamori,Kazutaka Ohi,Yuka Yasuda,Michiko Fujimoto,Yoshifumi Watanabe,Noriaki Yahata,Noriaki Yahata,Kiyotaka Nemoto,Derrek P. Hibar,T.G.M. van Erp,Haruo Fujino,Masanori Isobe,Shuichi Isomura,Tatsunobu Natsubori,Hisashi Narita,Naoki Hashimoto,Jun Miyata,Shinsuke Koike,Tsutomu Takahashi,Hidenori Yamasue,Koji Matsuo,Toshiaki Onitsuka,Tetsuya Iidaka,Yasuhiro Kawasaki,Reiji Yoshimura,Michio Suzuki,Jessica A. Turner,Masatoshi Takeda,Paul M. Thompson,Norio Ozaki,Kiyoto Kasai,Ryota Hashimoto +35 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest the possibility of aberrant laterality in neural pathways and connectivity patterns related to the pallidum in schizophrenia, and replicate the rank order of effect sizes for subcortical volumetric changes in schizophrenia reported by the ENIGMA consortium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progressive Gray Matter Reduction of the Superior Temporal Gyrus During Transition to Psychosis
Tsutomu Takahashi,Stephen J. Wood,Alison R. Yung,Bridget Soulsby,Patrick D. McGorry,Michio Suzuki,Yasuhiro Kawasaki,Lisa J. Phillips,Dennis Velakoulis,Christos Pantelis +9 more
TL;DR: A progressive process in the superior temporal gyrus precedes the first expression of florid psychosis and has important implications for underlying neurobiologic features of emerging psychotic disorders and emphasize the importance of early intervention during or before the first episode of psychosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional changes in brain gray and white matter in patients with schizophrenia demonstrated with voxel-based analysis of MRI
Michio Suzuki,Shigeru Nohara,Hirofumi Hagino,Kenzo Kurokawa,Takashi Yotsutsuji,Yasuhiro Kawasaki,Tsutomu Takahashi,Mie Matsui,Naoto Watanabe,Hikaru Seto,Masayoshi Kurachi +10 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that a pathological process in schizophrenia predominantly affects the fronto-temporolimbic-paralimbic regions of the brain, and reduced white matter in the connecting bundles may imply morphological substrates for abnormalities in the fronte-thalamic and frontosyllabic connectivity in schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multivariate voxel-based morphometry successfully differentiates schizophrenia patients from healthy controls.
Yasuhiro Kawasaki,Michio Suzuki,Ferath Kherif,Tsutomu Takahashi,Shi-Yu Zhou,Shi-Yu Zhou,Kazue Nakamura,Mie Matsui,Tomiki Sumiyoshi,Hikaru Seto,Masayoshi Kurachi +10 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the characteristic distribution of gray matter changes may be of diagnostic value for schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential contributions of prefrontal and temporolimbic pathology to mechanisms of psychosis
Michio Suzuki,Shi-Yu Zhou,Tsutomu Takahashi,Hirofumi Hagino,Yasuhiro Kawasaki,Lisha Niu,Mie Matsui,Hikaru Seto,Masayoshi Kurachi +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that volume reductions in the amygdala and hippocampus are the common morphological substrates for the schizophrenia spectrum, which presumably represent the vulnerability.
