How Does Voxel-based Morphometry Help In Schizophrenia Diagnosis? - Schizophrenia Support Network

Описание: How Does Voxel-based Morphometry Help In Schizophrenia Diagnosis? Have you ever wondered how scientists study the brain to better understand mental health conditions like schizophrenia? In this informative video, we’ll explain how a special brain imaging technique called voxel-based morphometry (VBM) helps researchers identify structural differences in the brain. We’ll start by defining what VBM is and how it works by analyzing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans in great detail. You’ll learn how the brain is divided into tiny three-dimensional units called voxels and how comparing these across different individuals reveals important variations in brain tissue.

We’ll discuss the typical brain changes observed in people with schizophrenia, such as reductions in gray matter in regions linked to thinking, memory, and emotions. These areas include the frontal cortex, temporal cortex, hippocampus, and parietal cortex. We’ll also explain how VBM can detect these differences early, sometimes before symptoms appear, making it a useful tool for early identification. Additionally, we’ll cover how VBM helps distinguish schizophrenia from other mental health conditions with similar symptoms by highlighting specific patterns in brain structure.

While VBM isn’t yet a routine clinical test, it plays a vital role in research, helping scientists understand how the brain changes over time and how treatments impact these changes. Join us to learn more about how this technique contributes to advancing our knowledge of schizophrenia and its biological roots.
