Compounded brain volume deficits in schizophrenia-alcoholism comorbidity.
BACKGROUND Schizophrenia and alcoholism are characterized by brain volume abnormalities. Despite the frequent comorbidity of these conditions, the potentially compounded effects of comorbidity on brain structure have seldom been rigorously assessed. METHODS To determine the compounding effect of schizophrenia and alcoholism on regional brain volumes, we performed retrospective quantitative an...
متن کاملImpulsivity-related brain volume deficits in schizophrenia-addiction comorbidity.
Despite a high prevalence of schizophrenia patients with comorbid substance abuse, little is known about possible impacts on the brain. Hence, our goal was to determine whether addicted and non-addicted schizophrenic patients suffer from different brain deficits. We were especially interested to determine if grey matter volumes were affected by impulsivity. We hypothesized that (comorbid) subst...

They found that the abstract attitude was only impaired if the test involved non-verbal skills, and argued that visuo perceptual deficits might be responsible for findings which had been attributed by other authors to impaired abstracting abilit...
متن کاملDecreased volume of the brain reward system in alcoholism.
BACKGROUND Reinforcement of behavioral responses involves a complex cerebral circuit engaging specific neuronal networks that are modulated by cortical oversight systems affiliated with emotion, memory, judgment, and decision making (collectively referred to in this study as the "extended reward and oversight system" or "reward network"). We examined whether reward-network brain volumes are red...
متن کاملApathy in schizophrenia: reduced frontal lobe volume and neuropsychological deficits.
OBJECTIVE Apathy is a common negative symptom in schizophrenia. The authors investigated neuropsychological performance and regional brain volumes in schizophrenia patients with high versus low levels of apathy. METHOD Schizophrenia patients with low apathy levels (N=18) and high apathy levels (N=20) and 12 healthy comparison subjects completed neuropsychological testing as well as magnetic r...
