Our study suggests that chronic BP shows similar WM changes to early SZ, suggesting that extracellular FW increases could be a transient indication of recent psychotic episodes. Since FW increase in SZ has been suggested to be related to neuroinflammation, we theorize that neuroinflammation might be a shared pathology between chronic BP and early SZ.
