A neuroimaging biomarker for striatal dysfunction in schizophrenia

Mounting evidence suggests that function and connectivity of the striatum is disrupted in schizophrenia1–5. We have developed a new hypothesis-driven neuroimaging biomarker for schizophrenia identification, prognosis and subtyping based on functional striatal abnormalities (FSA). FSA scores provide a personalized index of striatal dysfunction, ranging from normal to highly pathological. Using inter-site cross-validation on functional magnetic...
