Persistent monothematic delusions frequently include paranoid and persecutory beliefs, as well as various forms of somatic delusions, including delusions of being infested by pathogens. So far, little is known about the neural correlates of DD. Yet, particularly in elderly patients, white\u2010matter lesions (WML) are thought to play an important pathophysiological role.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      To investigate regional WML in patients with DD, structural MRI was used, followed by automated lesion segmentation methods to facilitate WML load (WMLL) comparisons between healthy controls (HC,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200928) and patients with distinct types of DD, that is, somatic (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200916) versus non\u2010somatic DD (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200917).
