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.
