TLDR
It is suggested that some morphological brain changes may be present at the time of first treatment for a psychotic illness, whereas others may occur later in the course of illness.

A review of MRI findings in schizophrenia

TL;DR: The 193 peer reviewed MRI studies reported in the current review span the period from 1988 to August, 2000 and have led to more definitive findings of brain abnormalities in schizophrenia than any other time period in the history of schizophrenia research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-Analysis of Regional Brain Volumes in Schizophrenia

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a systematic search for structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of patients with schizophrenia that reported volume measurements of selected cortical, subcortical, and ventricular regions in relation to comparison groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain abnormality in schizophrenia. A systematic and quantitative review of volumetric magnetic resonance imaging studies.

TL;DR: Several brain structures in schizophrenia are affected to a greater extent than expected from overall reductions in brain volume, and substantial reductions were also evident in the amygdala and hippocampus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain volume in first-episode schizophrenia: systematic review and meta-analysis of magnetic resonance imaging studies.

TL;DR: Average volumetric changes are close to the limit of detection by MRI methods, indicating whether schizophrenia is a neurodegenerative process that begins at about the time of symptom onset, or whether it is better characterised as a neurodevelopmental process that produces abnormal brain volumes at an early age.

The assessment of aphasia and related disorders

TL;DR: This small volume is designed as an introduction to the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Test and deals briefly with the authors' concept of aphasia as a neuropsychological, psycholinguistic phenomena.

A Standardized Memory Scale for Clinical Use

TL;DR: In this article, a standardized memory scale for clinical use is presented. But it is not suitable for the task of clinical evaluation. The Journal of Psychology: Vol. 19, No. 1, No 1, pp. 87-95.

Cerebral ventricular size and cognitive impairment in chronic schizophrenia

TL;DR: By comparison with age-matched controls in employment, 17 institutionalised schizophrenic patients were shown by computerised axial tomography of the brain to have increased cerebral ventricular size.
