Reduced brain structural similarity is associated with maturation, neurobiological features, and clinical status in schizophrenia - Nature Communications
Individuals with schizophrenia show reduced structural similarity in temporal, cingulate, and insular lobes, especially those with worse cognition and symptoms, affecting late maturing association areas with low metabolism and high neurotransmission.
