The study investigates differences in white and grey matter structures in young males at ultra-high risk of psychosis compared to healthy controls using advanced imaging techniques.*
-
Findings revealed increased radial diffusivity in certain white matter tracts and reduced cortical thickness in various brain regions among UHR subjects, suggesting potential structural abnormalities.*
-
The researchers concluded that these alterations in brain connectivity and anatomy may contribute to the cognitive and social functioning deficits observed in individuals at risk for developing psychosis.*
