Regional gray matter volume and structural network strength in somatic vs. non-somatic delusional disorders

Conclusion The data support the notion that dysfunctional somatosensory and peripersonal networks could mediate somatic delusions in patients with DI in contrast to delusional disorders without somatic content. The data also suggest putative content-specific neural signatures in delusional disorders and in delusion formation per se.
