Exploring the relationship between hallucination proneness and brain morphology
These findings challenge existing models by suggesting that higher brain volumes in language-related cortical areas may be associated with increased proneness to both auditory and visual hallucinations in non-clinical populations. This contrasts with the volume reductions seen in patients with clinical hallucinations and highlights the need for further research into the complex interplay between brain structure and hallucinatory experiences.
