Neural Substrates Of Apathy

Back to NA-MIC_Collaborations

Objective

We recently observed reduced volume of the frontal lobe in patients with schizophrenia having high levels of apathy (link to journal below). In the present investigation we are extending our study of the structural correlates of apathy in schizophrenia using the NAMIC toolkit with an emphasis on basal ganglia.

Progress

Data acquired at 1.5T on 20 patients with schizophrenia and 20 healthy controls at Dartmouth. Have begun to apply 3D Slicer for manual segmentation. Additional subject accrual ongoing.
