Brain imaging in schizophrenia.
Pathophysiology has remained unknown in schizophrenia. Recent neuroimaging advances have enabled us to find structural volume reduction in cortical structures, including the superior temporal gyrus which is associated with auditory information processing and language. These structures also change over time in the clinical course of patients with schizophrenia.
