Lateral ventricular size and social network differentiation in young, nonchronic schizophrenic patients
LJ Seidman, RL Sokolove, C McElroy, PH Knapp and T Sabin
The authors correlated lateral cerebral ventricular size with social
network differentiation and social outcome in 15 young, nonchronic patients
with schizophrenia and schizophreniform disorder. Patients with fewer
social contexts, fewer types of relationships, and less independent
residence had larger ventricles.
