The reference is quite a few years old now, being from back in 2001. I wonder what advances have been made with that image analysis technique and whether any studies have been conducted to tease out the reasons for the atrophy that was observed. It is possible that the changes seen were a result of 'schizophrenic thinking', rather than the cause, or more likely an interaction between the two. Similarly the same could be said of the neurodegenerative changes seen in the brains of people with depression and bipolar, as in that the modality of thinking/feeling contributed to the changes.
