Longitudinal imaging studies in schizophrenia: the relationship between brain morphology and outcome measures / M. Bellani, N. Dusi, P. Brambilla. - In: EPIDEMIOLOGIA E PSICHIATRIA SOCIALE. - ISSN 1121-189X. - 19:3(2010), pp. 207-210.
Abstract:
Imaging studies have tried to identify morphological outcome measures of schizophrenia in the last two decades. In particular, longitudinal studies have reported a correlation between larger ventricles, decreased prefrontal volumes and worse outcome. This would potentially allow to isolate subtypes of schizophrenia patients with a worse prognosis and more evident biological impairments, ultimately helping in designing specific rehabilitation interventions.
