lüll Neuropathology of schizophrenia: cortex, thalamus, basal ganglia, and neurotransmitter-specific projection systems Heckers SSchizophr Bull 1997[]; 23 (3): 403-21This article reviews neuropathological studies in the search for an anatomical correlate of schizophrenia. Replication of many results has proven to be difficult. A consistent finding is the lack of significant gliosis in the neocortex. Intriguing findings that need further corroboration include decreased volume and cell number of the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus, cytoarchitectural alterations of the prefrontal cortex and upper layers of the anterior cingulate gyrus, and superior temporal gyrus abnormalities. Most neuropathological studies investigate regional brain volume and cell density. Highly variable shrinkage of brain tissue postmortem makes these estimates prone to bias and often not comparable across studies. So far, no strong clinicopathological correlations and no pathological criteria to diagnose schizophrenia have been established.|*Schizophrenic Psychology[MESH]|Basal Ganglia/*pathology[MESH]|Bias[MESH]|Brain Mapping[MESH]|Cell Count[MESH]|Cerebral Cortex/*pathology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Neural Pathways/pathology[MESH]|Neurotransmitter Agents/*physiology[MESH]|Schizophrenia/diagnosis/*pathology[MESH]|Thalamus/*pathology[MESH] |
