Anterior Internal Capsule volumes increase in patients with schizophrenia switched from typical antipsychotics to olanzapine.
Journal of psychopharmacology (Oxford England), 2010Co-Authors: V M Goghari, D J Lang, B Khorram, L C Kopala, R A Vandorpe, G N Smith, J Götz, Alasdair M. Barr, W G HonerAbstract:Abnormalities in connectivity are thought to contribute to the symptoms of schizophrenia. Accumulating evidence suggests that antipsychotic medication affects both subcortical and cortical grey and white matter volumes. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of antipsychotic medication on two white matter tracts: a subcortical-cortical tract, the anterior and posterior limbs of the Internal Capsule; and a cortical-cortical tract, the corpus callosum. Magnetic resonance imaging was conducted on 10 chronic schizophrenia patients treated with typical antipsychotics and 20 healthy controls at baseline. Patients were switched to olanzapine and both groups were rescanned after 1 year. At baseline, the volume of the anterior limb of the Internal Capsule was 24% smaller in typical-treated patients than controls (p = 0.009). Patients treated with greater amounts of chlorpromazine-equivalent daily dosage had smaller anterior Internal Capsule volumes at baseline (r = −0.65, p = 0.04). At follow-up, af...

Reduced anterior Internal Capsule and thalamic volumes in first-episode psychosis.
Schizophrenia research, 2006Co-Authors: D J Lang, B Khorram, V M Goghari, L C Kopala, R A Vandorpe, Q Rui, G N Smith, W G HonerAbstract:The thalamus is the gateway for sensory and motor information en route to the cortex. Information is processed via thalamocortical and corticothalamic pathways coursing through the Internal Capsules. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the anterior limb of the Internal Capsule, posterior limb of the Internal Capsule, and thalamus in first-episode psychosis (FEP). Twenty-nine FEP subjects (26 DSM-IV schizophrenia, 2 schizoaffective disorder, 1 psychosis not otherwise specified) and 22 healthy volunteers participated in this study. Anterior limb of the Internal Capsule (AIC), posterior limb of the Internal Capsule (PIC), and the thalamus volumes were manually determined from MRI scans. FEP subjects had reduced AIC volumes (F(1,45)=6.18, p=0.017) and thalamic volumes (F(1,45)=8.00, p=0.007) compared to healthy volunteers. PIC volumes did not differ. Significant correlations between AIC volumes and thalamic volumes were observed in subjects with FEP, but not in healthy volunteers. Negative relationships between thalamic volumes and symptom severity were also observed. The AIC and thalamic volumes were reduced in subjects with FEP compared to healthy volunteers. Abnormalities in thalamocortical and orticothalamic pathways may contribute to functional disruption of neural circuits in psychosis.
