A study of schizophrenic brains by computerized tomography scans. 1981

I Moriguchi

The brains of 55 schizophrenic patients and 65 controls were examined using computerized tomography scans. The width of the interhemispheric fissure and the third ventricle, and the volume of the lateral ventricles in the schizophrenic patients were significantly larger than those obtained in the controls. The extension of the width of the interhemispheric fissure and the increase in the volume of the lateral ventricles in the schizophrenic patients were assumed to be caused not by aging but by the schizophrenic illness itself. The increased in the volume of the lateral ventricles and the area of the anterior horns of the lateral ventricles in the schizophrenic patients was assumed to be related to the schizophrenic pathogenesis.

D001921	Brain	The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.	Encephalon
D002648	Child	A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL.	Children
D004827	Epilepsy	A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).
