Neuroanatomical Correlates of Negative Symptoms in Schizophrenia

SO M Vijayakumar Kamalakannan, Alie G. Male, Musa Yilanli, Annalisa Lella, Jaylen Lee, Yann Quidé, Melissa J. Green, Murray J. Cairns, Vaughan J. Carr, Stanley Victor Catts, Frans Alexander Henskens, Assen V Jablensky, Carmel Maree Loughland, Patricia Therese Michie, Bryan J. Mowry, , Theo G.M. van Erp

This study identifies small but consistent anatomical correlates of negative symptom dimensions in schizophrenia, linking them to prefrontal cortical thickness and limbic subcortical volumes.
