摘要: The authors sought to compare gray matter changes in First Episode Schizophrenia (FES) compared with Fronto-Temporal Lobar Degeneration (FTLD) using meta-analytic methods applied neuro-imaging studies. A systematic search was conducted for published, structural voxel-based morphometric MRI studies patients FES or FTLD. Data were combined anatomical likelihood estimation (ALE) determine the extent of decreases and analysed ascertain degree overlap spatial distribution brain both diseases. extracted from 18 (including a total 555 621 comparison subjects) 20 FTLD related disorders 311 431 subjects). similarity two significant (p = 0.001). Gray deficits common included bilateral caudate, left insula uncus regions. There is Degeneration. This may reflect overlapping aetiologies, vulnerability these regions distinct aetio-pathological processes disorders.
