Combination of volume and perfusion parameters reveals different types of grey matter changes in schizophrenia

Abstract Diverse brain structural and functional changes have been reported in schizophrenia. Identifying different types of brain changes may help to understand the neural mechanisms and to develop reliable biomarkers in schizophrenia. We aimed to categorize different grey matter changes in schizop...
