Reports giving the volumes of cortical structures in people with schizophrenia and controls were included.

The median percentage volume differences revealed overall reductions in the whole brain (3%), temporal lobe (6% left. 9.5% right), and the amygdala\/hippocampal complex (6.5%, 5.5%); and increases in the lateral ventricles (44%, 36%), that were greatest in the body and occipital horns. Segmentation studies suggest that grey matter is reduced but that white matter volumes may actually be increased. In men, substantial reductions were also evident in the amygdala and hippocampus, as well as the largest reductions of all in the parahippocampus (14%, 9%). Few studies gave figures for women alone.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Several brain structures in schizophrenia are affected to a greater extent than expected from overall reductions in brain volume. Further studies are required in affected women, and to try to identify clinical and aetiological associations of these findings.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.172.2.110","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,15]],"date-time":"2008-10-15T05:40:02Z","timestamp":1224049202000},"page":"110-120","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":620,"title":["Brain abnormality in schizophrenia"],"prefix":"10.1192","volume":"172","author":[{"given":"Stephen M.","family":"Lawrie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suheib S.","family":"Abukmeil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"170","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref33","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0920-9964(95)00081-X"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref38","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"227","DOI":"10.1177\/014107689208500416","article-title":"Abnormalities of cerebral structure in schizophrenia on magnetic resonance imaging: interpretation in relation to the neurodevelopmental hypothesis","volume":"85","author":"O'Callaghan","year":"1992","journal-title":"Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref44","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"464","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.146.4.464","article-title":"Temporal lobe pathology in schizophrenia: a quantitative MRI study","volume":"146","author":"Suddath","year":"1989","journal-title":"American Journal of Psychiatry"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1992.01820120009003"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1437","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.151.10.1437","article-title":"Absence of regional hemispheric volumes asymmetries in first-episode schizophrenia","volume":"151","author":"Bilder","year":"1994","journal-title":"American Journal of Psychiatry"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref53","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1992.01820030027004"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0925-4927(90)90004-P"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1988.01800300029003"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref1","volume-title":"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders","year":"1987"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref32","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.1192\/S0007125000291824","article-title":"Computerised tomography in schizophrenia: 15 years on","volume":"157","author":"Lewis","year":"1990","journal-title":"British Journal of Psychiatry"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref43","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199208273270905"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1991.01810340013002"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref48","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.160.5.687"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0006-3223(95)00251-0"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1991.01810290019002"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref51","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1995.03950160029007"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref39","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0033-2909.108.1.93"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(95)91441-2"},{"key":"S0007125000149475_ref18","volume-title":"The Human Brain: Surface.
