Brain scans reveal structural differences in treatment-resistant schizophrenia
PsyPost · By Karina Petrova ·
The Brief
- A recent study found structural brain differences in people with treatment-resistant schizophrenia compared with patients who respond to standard medications.
- The reported differences include a smaller hippocampus.
- The source says these anatomical variations could eventually help inform treatment, but this is not yet established in practice.
Why it matters
Identifying brain-structure markers that distinguish treatment-resistant schizophrenia could eventually help clinicians anticipate which patients need alternatives to standard medications.
Who’s affected
- clinicians and researchers in psychiatry and neuroimaging
- patients and families affected by schizophrenia
