MRI findings in medial temporal lobe structures in schizophrenia.
In an MRI volumetric study of 10 young male schizophrenics (DSM-III-R 295.9x) a temporal lobe segment, corresponding hippocampal formation and parahippocampal gyrus were found smaller as compared with healthy controls while temporal horn was enlarged. Temporal lobe segment and parahippocampal gyrus were larger on the right in patients and controls, reversed asymmetry was found for the hippocampus.
