          Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder 
						hypothesized to result from brain connectivity 
						impairment. According to the concept of clinical staging 
						in psychotic disorders, brain connectivity might by more 
						abnormal in more severe stages of the pathology, and 
						altered connectivity measures might show progressive 
						changes from prodromal to chronic phase. In this 
						diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) study we identify 
						possible network-based biomarkers of pathology 
						progression from early psychosis to chronic 
						schizophrenia stage, compared to healthy subjects.
