Progressive Gray Matter Reduction of the Superior Temporal Gyrus During Transition to Psychosis

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

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

Differential contributions of prefrontal and temporolimbic pathology to mechanisms of psychosis

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.
