Detailed explanation-1: -People with schizophrenia also tend to have differences in brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. These control communication within the brain. Studies show that these neurotransmitters are either too active or not active enough in people with schizophrenia. Doctors also believe the brain loses tissue over time.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a large clinical study, 60 percent of patients with schizophrenia (subtype 1) had decreased gray matter volumes throughout the brain compared to healthy people, which is the typical pattern seen in those with this disorder.
Detailed explanation-3: -Schizophrenia is associated with changes in the structure and functioning of a number of key brain systems, including prefrontal and medial temporal lobe regions involved in working memory and declarative memory, respectively.
Detailed explanation-4: -The overwhelming majority of studies have demonstrated that the frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes, cingulate cortex, hippocampus, thalami, and basal ganglia are key regions of GMV decrease in schizophrenia [1–8].
Detailed explanation-5: -Brain imaging shows that people with schizophrenia have less gray matter volume, especially in the temporal and frontal lobes. These areas of the brain are important for thinking and judgment. What’s more, gray matter loss continues over time.
