Abstract

Neuroanatomical studies have provided some evidence for a neurobiological continuity between psychotic symptoms in patients with schizophrenia and subclinical psychotic-like experiences as identified via self-report questionnaires (or schizotypy) in otherwise healthy individuals. Despite a number of structural brain imaging studies published in subjects with schizotypy, these have often been limited by relatively small sample sizes. This study represents the first meta-analysis of structural MRI scans in schizotypy assessed with standardized methods at 17 centres worldwide. The total sample included in the case-control meta-analysis involved 496 subjects with high schizotypy and 588 comparis..
