The prevalence of the Heschl's gyrus (HG) duplication, detected in approximately 30–50% of healthy adults (Abdul-Kareem and Sluming, 2008), is increased in patients in the early stages of schizophrenia (Takahashi et al., 2021a), indicating that it is a stable marker of early neurodevelopmental anomalies. Although the gray matter reduction of HG appears to be specific to schizophrenia and not other psychotic disorders (Takahashi et al., 2009), the disease specificity of the HG gyrification pattern remains largely unexamined. Because individuals at a high risk of developing psychosis with heterogeneous outcomes (Fusar-Poli et al., 2013) exhibit an increased prevalence of duplicated HG (Takahashi et al., 2021b), the HG pattern may have potential as a general marker for vulnerability to psychosis.To examine HG gyrification patterns in 162 first-episode inpatients with various psychoses (FEP)(median illness duration= 27 days) and 62 healthy controls (Table 1), T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images were obtained using a 1.5 T GE Signa scanner with a 3D spoiled gradient-recalled echo sequence. Imaging parameters were: TR= 14.3 ms, TE= 3.3 ms, FOV= 24× 24 cm, Flip= 30, Matrix= 256× 256, voxel dimension= 0.938× 0.938× 1.5 mm. Sample characteristics of the study participants were described elsewhere (Takahashi et al., 2009, Supplementary material). Briefly, patients with current psychotic symptoms who were unmedicated before admission received Structured Clinical Interview (Spitzer et al., 1990)-based DSM diagnoses at the Early Psychosis Prevention and Intervention Centre, Victoria, Australia. Forty-six patients were eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia, 57 with schizophreniform disorder, 34 with affective psychosis, and 25 with other psychoses. Healthy controls with no family or medical history of psychiatric illness were recruited via local advertisements. The local Ethics Committees approved the protocol of the present study and written informed consent was obtained from all participants.
