Alterations in White Matter Evident Before the Onset of Psychosis
BACKGROUND Psychotic disorders are associated with widespread reductions in white matter (WM) integrity. However, the stage at which these abnormalities first appear and whether they are correlates of psychotic illness, as opposed to an increased vulnerability to psychosis, is unclear. We addressed these issues by using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to study subjects at ultra high risk (UHR) o...
متن کاملPM467. White-matter alterations related to duration of untreated periods in patients with recent-onset psychosis.
Introduction: Duration of untreated periods (DUP) is one of the most important predictors of treatment outcome, prognosis of psychotic disorder. Also, most neuroimaging studies have investigated the gray matter changes and less attention has been paid to white matter. The object of this study is to focused on the microstructural integrity of more short DUP (<1000days) in a relatively large samp...
متن کاملWhite-matter hyperintensities in first-episode psychosis
BACKGROUND White-matter hyperintensities have been associated with both schizophrenia and mood disorders, particularly bipolar disorder, but results are inconsistent across studies. AIMS To examine whether white-matter hyperintensities are a vulnerability marker for psychosis or are specifically associated with bipolar disorder. METHOD T(2)-weighted magnetic resonance imaging data were acqu...
متن کاملWhite matter alterations in social anxiety disorder.
White matter architecture in patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD) has rarely been investigated, but may yield insights with respect to altered structural brain connectivity. Initial evidence points to alterations in the uncinate fasciculus (UF). We applied diffusion tensor imaging in 25 patients with SAD and 25 matched healthy subjects. Whole-brain fractional anisotropy (FA) maps were us...
متن کاملBiological Mechanisms of Dynamic White Matter Alterations
Efficient connectivity is essential for the fast and faithful delivery of signals across local and distal brain regions. White matter axons with a sufficiently large axon diameter rely on myelin sheets from nearby oligodendrocytes for saltatory conduction of their action potential along the length of their axon. Although neuronal architecture is largely fixed in adult mammals, in contrast, olig...
