Reduced asymmetry of which of the following structures has been associated with schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia (pathology)
Macroscopic pathological features of schizophrenia include:-
- Ventricular enlargement
- Reduced brain volume (up to 5%)
- Reduced left planum temporale gray matter, and reversed planum temporale surface area asymmetry (normally left larger than right in a right handed person)
The most consistent microscopic findings have been a reduction of the size of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus.
