Brain Motor Region Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Patients with Catatonic Schizophrenia: A Case-Control Study

CONCLUSIONS: Catatonic schizophrenia is associated with dysregulation of the connectivity in specific motoric brain regions and corresponding circuits. Future DTI studies are needed to address the neural correlates of motor abnormalities in schizophrenia-related catatonia during the acute and remitted state of the illness to identify the specific pathophysiology of this disorder.PMID:34672443
