The aim of this study was to conduct the first longitudinal and population-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation of the presence and size of the cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) and adhesio interthalamica (AI) in a large sample of patients with first-episode psychosis (FEP).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291712000839_sec_a002\"><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>FEP patients (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=122) were subdivided into schizophrenia (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=62), mood disorders (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=46) and other psychosis (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>=14) groups and compared to 94 healthy next-door neighbour controls.

By contrast, there was a diagnosis\u00d7time interaction for the CSP length, with a more prominent increase for this measure in the psychosis group. There was an involution of the AI length over time for all groups but no diagnosis\u00d7time interaction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291712000839_sec_a004\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our findings suggest that the CSP <jats:italic>per se<\/jats:italic> may not be linked to the neurobiology of emerging psychotic disorders, although it might be related to the progression of the disease. However, the fact that the AI length was shown to be shorter at the onset of the disorder supports the neurodevelopmental model of schizophrenia and indicates that an alteration in this grey matter junction may be a risk factor for developing psychosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291712000839","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,27]],"date-time":"2012-04-27T15:19:15Z","timestamp":1335539955000},"page":"2523-2534","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Longitudinal follow-up of cavum septum pellucidum and adhesio interthalamica alterations in first-episode psychosis: a population-based MRI study"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"C.","family":"Trzesniak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
