Abstract

Previous studies have revealed that changes in sub-threshold psychotic symptoms observed in individuals with an ‘at risk mental state’ (ARMS) are associated with biological changes in the corpus callosum (CC). To elucidate the biological background for resilience against transition to psychosis, we investigated the relationship between CC structural changes and recovery of sub-threshold psychotic symptom in subjects with ARMS who did not develop psychosis (ARMS-N). Sixteen healthy controls and 42 ARMS (37 ARMS-N) subjects participated this study. The volumes of five sub-regions of the CC were analyzed using MRI. The sub-threshold psychotic symptoms of the ARMS were measured using the Scale o..
