Abstract
We investigated morphometric changes in schizophrenic brains (total brain volume, cerebellum, hippocampus, SMA) with a ROI- analysis of structural MRI images. Also, we looked at cognitive deficits in the schizophrenic group (intelligence, memory, attention) and their correlation with structural abnormalities. We found a bilateral volume reduction of the hippocampus and memory deficits only in schizophrenic men. Impairments in the intelligence and attention domain were found for both male and female schizophrenic patients. Further, we found positive correlations of the volume of right hippocampus with visual memory and visual- constructive intelligence. Theories of a sexual dimorphism in schizophrenia are discussed in this study.
