Background Schizophrenia and alcoholism are characterized by brain volume
abnormalities. Despite the frequent comorbidity of these conditions, the potentially …

BACKGROUND:: This study used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to compare the extent
and pattern of tissue volume deficit and cerebrospinal fluid volume enlargement in chronic …

Background We sought to determine whether the brain dysmorphology previously observed
cross-sectionally in people with schizophrenia progresses over time and whether such …

Ventricular enlargement and reduced prefrontal volume are consistent findings in
schizophrenia. Both are present in first episode subjects and may be detectable before the …

Importance Schizophrenia is associated with alterations in mean regional brain volumes.
However, it is not known whether the clinical heterogeneity seen in the disorder is reflected …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have shown smaller volumes of grey matter
(GM) and white matter (WM) both in schizophrenia and among patients with alcohol abuse …

Background: The relationship between illness severity and neuroanatomical abnormalities
in schizophrenia remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to test whether the pattern …

Schizophrenia is characterized by subtle but well-replicated total and regional (frontal and
temporal) brain tissue volume deficits. Studies of individuals at-risk for developing …

Context Structural brain abnormalities have consistently been found in schizophrenia, with
increased familial risk for the disease associated with these abnormalities. Some brain …

Background: Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies demonstrate reduced
brain volumes in schizophrenics, but specific structural abnormalities have not been clearly …
