Intra-individual structural covariance network in schizophrenia patients with persistent auditory hallucinations.

ABSTRACT: Neuroimaging studies have revealed that the mechanisms of auditory hallucinations are related to morphological changes in multiple cortical regions, but studies on brain network properties are lacking. This study aims to construct intra-individual structural covariance networks and reveal network changes related to auditory hallucinations. T1-weighted MRI images were acquired from 90 schizophrenia patients with persistent auditory hallucinations (pAH group), 55 schizophrenia patients without auditory hallucinations (non-pAH group), and 83 healthy controls (HC group). Networks were constructed using the voxel-based gray matter volume and the intra-individual structural covariance was based on the similarity between the morphological variations of any two regions. One-way ANCOVA was employed
