Brief description
of present research:
To characterize the living human brain in
schizophrenia with respect to brain morphology. This involves the
volumetric measurements of anatomical brain structures, and t quantitative
charactreization of brain surface and white matter organization,
using magnetic resonance imaging and computerized image analysis
methods.
