Abstract
Heterogeneity in progressive brain volume changes in schizophrenia is particularly associated with variation in disorganization. Schizophrenia patients with high levels of disorganization exhibit more progressive decrease of global brain volumes and have lower total IQ. We propose that these patients form a phenotypically and biologically homogenous subgroup that may be useful for etiological (e.g., genetic) studies.
