title: Sex-dependent hippocampal volume reductions in schizophrenia relate to episodic memory deficits.
abstract: Morphological abnormalities of the hippocampus might form the neurobiological basis of memory dysfunction in schizophrenia. Hippocampal volume was found to be bilaterally reduced in male, but not in female, subjects with schizophrenia. Right hippocampal volume was significantly related to impaired visual learning.
