To what extent does schizophrenia impact brain structure? How do antipsychotics impact brain structure to improve symptoms of schizophrenia?

Started Aug. 28, 2024

Abstract or project description

I'm conducting a systematic review to explore which parts of the brain schizophrenia affects and how it causes symptoms. I will also be looking at the effect of antipsychotics on brain structure and how they improve symptoms in patients. I’m particularly interested in understanding the neurological basis of schizophrenia and the role of treatment in brain structural changes. Throughout the review, I will critically analyze current literature and identify gaps in research to highlight areas for future study. My goal is to publish this review in a high school journal to share these findings with a broader audience and contribute to the scientific conversation at an early stage in my academic journey.
