Understanding aberrant white matter development in schizophrenia: an avenue for therapy?

Expert review of neurotherapeutics - 1 Jul 2011

Walterfang Mark, Velakoulis Dennis, Whitford Thomas J, Pantelis Christos

Abstract excerpt

Although historically gray matter changes have been the focus of neuropathological and neuroradiological studies in schizophrenia, in recent years an increasing body of research has implicated white matter structures and its constituent components (axons, their myelin sheaths and supporting oligodendrocytes). This article summarizes this body of literature, examining neuropathological, neurogenetic and...
