Brain folding provides researchers with an accurate marker to predict psychosis

(University of Western Ontario) By using images of the brain to look at how the grey matter is folded on itself, researchers can predict which high-risk patients will develop psychosis with more than 80 per cent accuracy.Researchers from Western University and Lawson Health Research Institute collaborated with scientists at the University of Basel in Switzerland to develop an approach using an MRI of the brain that can identify which patients with pre-psychotic symptoms will go on to develop full-blown psychosis.
