Neuroimaging in schizophrenia - PMC IMAGING BRAIN CHEMISTRY PET, SPECT and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) have been extensively employed to investigate chemical changes in the brain PET imaging studies have examined the receptors of interest to schizophrenia, primarily dopamine, serotonin, GABA and glutamate
6,000 Brain Scans Reveal the Many Faces of Schizophrenia - SciTechDaily Researchers analyzed thousands of brain scans to uncover how schizophrenia varies at a structural level While some brain areas differ greatly between patients, others share a common developmental trait, suggesting early brain formation plays a key role
Schizophrenia | Radiology Reference Article - Radiopaedia. org Most patients with a first episode of psychosis will receive a CT brain to rule out organic causes of schizophrenia CT and MRI The majority of the findings seen with CT scan can also be observed with an MRI
