Abstract

BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS: Schizophrenia (SZ) is characterized by significant cognitive and behavioral disruptions. Neuroimaging techniques, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have been widely utilized to investigate biomarkers of SZ, distinguish SZ from healthy conditions or other mental disorders, and explore biotypes within SZ or across SZ and other mental disorders, which aim to promote the accurate diagnosis of SZ. In China, research on SZ using MRI has grown considerably in recent years.
