Neurological soft signs and brain structural abnormalities in patients with first episode psychosis and healthy controls

NSSs were higher in the patients with first episode psychosis than in the healthy participants. NSSs and structural abnormalities in MRI are part of neurological deficit, leading to psychosis, and are not caused by the process of neurological deterioration due to psychosis itself. The current study is cross-sectional, so longitudinal data is required for elucidating if NSSs change during the course of illness.
