Historically, the anterior part of the temporal lobe was labelled as a unique structure named
Brain Area 38 by Brodmann or Temporopolar Area TG by Von Economo, but its functions …

The brain is constantly bombarded by stimuli, and the relative salience of these inputs
determines which are more likely to capture attention. A brain system known as the'salience …

Cortical gray matter deficits have been found in patients with schizophrenia, with evidence of
progression over time. The aim of this study was to determine the extent of progressive …

The insular cortex is one of the brain regions that show consistent abnormalities in both
structural and functional neuroimaging studies of schizophrenia. In healthy individuals, the …

The function of the anterior-most portion of the temporal lobes, the temporal pole, is not well
understood. Anatomists have long considered it part of an extended limbic system based on …

The insula is anatomically situated to be critically involved in many bio-behavioral functions
impaired in schizophrenia. Furthermore, its total volume has been shown to be reduced in …

BackgroundStudies of people with schizophrenia assessed using magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) usually include patients with first-episode and chronic disease, yet brain …

Involvement of the insular cortex is a common finding in neuroanatomical studies of
schizophrenia, yet its contribution to disease pathology remains unknown. This review …

BackgroundSeveral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have identified structural
abnormalities in association with bipolar disorder. The literature is, however, heterogeneous …

The underlying neurobiology of emerging psychotic disorders is not well understood. While
there is evidence from structural imaging and other studies supporting the popular notion …
