In open access, by Jason Kai et al., 5 March 2023:

# Aberrant frontal lobe “U”-shaped association fibers in first-episode schizophrenia: A 7-Tesla Diffusion Imaging Study

Highlights

• Identified aberrant frontal-lobe “U”-fibres in first episode schizophrenia patients.

• Observed localized abnormalities along-tract associated with to tissue microstructure.

• Changes to “U”-fibres occur irrespective of symptom severity.

• Proposed a framework to track progression of diffusion measures in patients.
