Aberrant limbic brain structures in young individuals at risk for mental illness

Aim Alterations in limbic structures may be present before the onset of serious mental illness, but whether subfield‐specific limbic brain changes parallel stages in clinical risk is unknown. To address this gap, we compared the hippocampus, amygdala, and thalamus subfield‐specific volumes in adolescents at various stages of risk for mental illness. Methods MRI scans were obtained from 182 participants (aged 12–25 years) from the Canadian...
