Grey matter volume and its association with cognitive impairment and peripheral cytokines in excited individuals with schizophrenia

In conclusion, our results confirm GMV changes in excited patients with schizophrenia, and characterize the GMV as an important interface between inflammatory cytokines and cognitive impairment. Therefore, targeted anti-inflammatory adjuvant antipsychotic therapy may im prove cognitive function and volumetric brain abnormalities in these patients.
