Large-scale neuroimaging study links gray matter loss to psychosis development.
The thickness of cortical brain tissue progressively reduces as individuals develop psychosis, according to researchers of a large, multi-site study of young adults at clinical high risk. Onset of psychosis typically occurs during the transition from adolescence to early adulthood, a period of time when the brain is also maturing. Brain tissue is commonly divided by its appearance on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) into gray … Continue reading Large-scale neuroimaging study links gray matter loss to psychosis development.
