Neurocognitive correlates of transition from ultra-high risk mental state to schizophrenia

这项研究的目的是了解年轻人在患上严重精神疾病时大脑的变化。最先进的脑成像和脑功能数据将前瞻性地从500多名被认为患有精神分裂症的超高风险的年轻人中收集，精神分裂症是最严重的精神疾病，目前尚无治愈方法。我们的目标是识别精神分裂症的早期大脑变化，从而进行更有效的早期干预。

Understanding the changes in the brains of young people when they are developing a severe mental illness is the objective of this research. State-of-the-art brain imaging and brain function data will be prospectively collected from more than 500 young people considered at ultra high risk of developing schizophrenia, the most severe of mental illnesses for which no cure exists. We aim to identify early brain changes in schizophrenia, thus allowing for more effective early intervention.
