Summary
Gray Matter Changes in Patients with Deficit Schizophrenia and Non-Deficit Schizophrenia Objectives: Reduced gray matter volume is a frequently reported Finding in brain imaging studies performed with schizophrenia patients. Some studies suggest a probable link between the negative symptoms of schizophrenia and gray matter loss; however, some of the negative symptoms observed in schizophrenia patients are not primarily linked to the core of schizophrenia. This study aimed to compare gray matter volumes in patients with primary negative symptoms (deficit schizophrenia [DS]), non-DS (NDS) patients, and healthy controls.
