Research Abstract |
Abnormality of the synaptic transmission in nerve cells is pointed out than cerebrocortical abnormality for schizophrenia. Therefore it wasdifficult to catch clinical condition by the normal radiographic studies. We triedanalysis with the high-angular diffusion tensor imaging. As a result, we could depict white matter abnormality in right frontal lobe, and a utility of the high-angular diffusion tensor imaging for mental disorder such as schizophrenia was suggested.
