New MRI neuroimaging techniques are used to derive volume measurements and three-dimensional reconstructions of temporal-lobe structures in vivo in 15 right-handed men with chronic schizophrenia and 15 matched controls to discover the degree of thought disorder is related to the size of the reduction in volume of the left posterior superior temporal gyrus.

In contrast to acquisition-based noise reduction methods a postprocess based on anisotropic diffusion is proposed, which overcomes the major drawbacks of conventional filter methods, namely the blurring of object boundaries and the suppression of fine structural details.

738 Citations1990Patrick E. Barta, Godfrey D. Pearlson +3 more

The schizophrenic group was found to have significantly less gray matter than the control group but no difference in white matter, and regional brain volume measurements need to be expressed in the context of possible widespread gray matter volume deficits in schizophrenia.

It is discovered that the hippocampus of rodents and tree shrews shows atrophy of pyramidal neurons in the CA3 region, indicating that excitatory amino acid release mediates the atrophy, which likely involves disassembly of the dendritic cytoskeleton.

Structural alterations of the cerebral cortex, particularly in the frontal and temporal lobes, are present in patients with schizophrenia and in some of their siblings without schizophrenia; such changes are likely to reflect genetic (or shared environmental) effects.

Schizophrenic patients were found to have larger lateral and third ventricles and smaller thalamic, hippocampal, and superior temporal volumes than comparison subjects, and hypotheses regarding gender and laterality interactions with diagnosis were not supported.

Findings need further evaluation by serial scans over a longer time period before it can be determined that no progression of brain structural abnormalities is occurring as part of the pathology of schizophrenia, even in a subgroup of patients.
