Is psychosis risk associated with structural and functional abnormalities in the brain?
Abstract This study (i) conducted a meta-analysis to examine whether relatives of schizophrenia patients (FRs) have structural or functional abnormalities in the brain when compared to healthy controls, (ii) conducted original studies whether familial, genetic, or symptomatic risk for psychosis is r...
