Table 2. whole brain comparisons of cortical thickness and area in controls, high-risk people and schizophrenia patients.
| Left hemisphere | Cortical Thickness | Cortical Surface Area |
|---|---|---|
| S vs. N | Significant decrease in large amount of regions of frontal and temporal lobe, and some occipital and parietal lobe in S | Significant decrease in some regions of parietal lobe and slight increases in temporal lobe in S |
| S vs. H | Significant decrease in frontal and temporal lobe, and some in parietal lobe in S | Slight decrease in frontal and parietal lobe in S |
| H vs. N | Regional increase in temporal-occipital, frontal and parietal lobe in H | Slight increase in parietal lobe in H |
| Right hemisphere | Cortical Thickness | Cortical Surface Area |
| S vs. N | Mostly frontal reduction with some temporal and parietal reduction in S | Slight parietal reduction and slight increase in frontal and occipital lobe in S |
| S vs. H | Mostly frontal and temporal reduction with some parietal reduction in S | Slight, scattered frontal, parietal reduction and slight increase in frontal lobe in S |
| H vs. N | Slight, scattered increase in frontal, temporal, occipital and parietal regions in H | Slight reduction in frontal lobe and slight increase in parietal lobe in H |
S=schizophrenia patients; H=high-risk people; N=normal controls
