People who, later, were diagnosed with psychosis had a higher degree of functional connectivity in this particular part of the brain. In addition, the researchers also found that patients who have already been diagnosed with schizophrenia have the same kind of hyperconnectivity pattern. It is present among schizophrenia patients but not in patients with other psychiatric disorders.
Hope they will use this to faster identify drugs that work by looking for this pattern before and after administering a new med. Seems like a better plan than reporting subjective symptoms.
