Overview
This study focuses on the structure and function of the brain and gene expression in peripheral blood of patients with schizophrenia, to explore the interaction and influence between the three. Patients with mental disorders who have been recruited will take their medication regularly for 1 year and participate in baseline and follow-up assessments.
Description
The study seeks to identify possible biological markers of schizophrenia and the effects of gene-environment interactions on brain structural and functional networks. So we can help doctors and scientific researchers better understand the neuropathological basis of schizophrenia.
