Synopsis

Keywords: Psychiatric Disorders, Psychiatric Disorders

Motivation: Assessing the Gray matter volume changes in the hippocampal subfield and amygdala nuclei will help to understand the underlying mechanisms of the disease.

Goal(s): To assess hippocampal subfield and amygdala nuclei volume changes in patients with early-onset schizophrenia (EOS).

Approach: High-resolution 3D T1 images were acquired in both the control (34) and the EOS (31). Hippocampal subfield and amygdala nuclei segmentation was performed using FreeSurfer.

Results: Volume reduction in the bilateral basal, para-laminar, and right lateral amygdala nuclei, as well as molecular layer, subiculum, para-subiculum, CA4 hippocampal subfield.

Impact: The gray matter volume reduction of the hippocampus subfield and amygdala nuclei maybe associated with poor clinical outcomes in EOS.
