Anterior-posterior systematic deficits of cortical thickness in early-onset schizophrenia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental condition with alterations in both sensory and association cortical areas. These alterations have been reported to follow structural connectivity patterning, and to occur in a system-level fashion. Here we investigated whether pathological alterations of schizophrenia originate from an early disruption of cortical organization. We found a structural covariance gradient axis of cortical thickness discriminated anterior from posterior region and was compressed in early-onset schizophrenia (EOS) patients. Patients showed increased structural covariance between two ends of the anterior-posterior axis, with increased geodesic distance of covarying regions between two ends. Positive symptoms increased with the strengthening of structural covariance between two ends. Our findings revealed a contracted organizational axis in EOS patients, which was attributed to excessive distally coordinated changes between anterior and posterior cortical regions. Our study from a systematic perspective suggests disturbed maturational processes of cortical thickness in EOS, supporting the neurodevelopmental hypothesis of schizophrenia.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
