Article Synopsis
- The study looked at brain structure differences in schizophrenia versus affective psychoses and how lifetime use of antipsychotics or benzodiazepines affects brain morphology.
- Researchers analyzed brain MRI scans of people from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966, finding no volume differences between the two groups.
- For schizophrenia, higher antipsychotic doses correlated with reduced nucleus accumbens volume, while in affective psychoses, higher benzodiazepine doses were linked to increased gray matter and hippocampal volume, suggesting the need for independent examination of benzodiazepine effects.
