Proposed Project: Procedures

• exp4 Corticometric Studies of Developmental Pathology

  • exp4b Childhood-Onset Schizophrenia vs. Controls: A Longitudinal Study
    • CIVET cortical maps in both standardized and native space statistical comparison (both RFT & FDR),
    • A subset of this sample (23 COS subjects and 38 controls) when only the first two scans are considered, have been matched to 19 subjects diagnosed with multidimensionally-impaired disorder (MDI), a semi-psychotic disorder. Each of the MDI subjects have also been scanned twice at a mean interval of 2 years. Comparing vertex-based cortical thickness change over time in the 3 groups will provide insight into the specificity of schizophrenia related findings.
