Background
In low-and middle-income countries people with schizophrenia are reported to experience better outcomes than those in high-income countries
Aims
To examine structural brain differences in people with first-episode psychosis and controls in Brazil
Method
Magnetic resonance imaging using voxel-based morphometry was performed on 122 people with first-episode psychosis and 94 controls
Results
There were significant decreases in grey matter in the left superior temporal and inferior prefrontal cortices, insula bilaterally and the right hippocampal region in first-episode psychosis (P<0.05, corrected for multiple comparisons). The subgroup of people with schizophrenia (n=62) exhibited a similar pattern of decrease in grey matter relative to controls
Conclusions
Structural abnormalities reported in psychosis in high-income countries are also present in first-episode psychosis in Brazil
