The Role of Hippocampal Functional Connectivity on Multisystem Subclinical Abnormalities in Schizophrenia

Objective Schizophrenia is associated with excess medical mortality: patients have an average life expectancy one to two decades shorter than the general population. This study investigates the relationship between aberrant hippocampal resting-state functional connectivity in schizophrenia and cumulative subclinical effects of chronic stress on metabolic, cardiovascular, and immune function using the allostatic load index. Methods Cumulative...
