The study of brain morphology parameters in patients with first-episode psychosis (FEP) could help detect early brain footprints related to this disease and its predominant symptomatology. We examined gray matter (GM) volume, cortical thickness (CT), gyrification index (GI), and sulcus depth (SD) differences between patients with FEP and healthy control (HC) participants. We also investigated the associations of these brain parameters with symptomatology in FEP.

Not everyone is equally likely to experience mental illness. What is the contribution of an individual's genetic background and experiences of childhood adversity to that likelihood? And how do these risk factors interact at the level of the brain? This study explores these questions by investigating the relationship between genetic liability for mental illness, childhood adversity, and cortico-limbic connectivity in a large developmental sample drawn from the ABCD cohort (N = 6535). Canonical Correlation Analysis - a multivariate data-reduction technique - revealed two genetic dimensions of mental illness from the polygenic risk scores for ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, and Psychosis.
