Widespread asymmetries of amygdala nuclei predict auditory verbal hallucinations in schizophrenia
Our findings highlight a global reorganization of the amygdala, where left and right nuclei volumes differ pairwise but become proportionally more similar as hallucinations increase in severity. Identifying asymmetries in particular brain structures relevant to specific symptoms could help monitor the evolution and outcome of psychopathological conditions.
