Overview: The corpus callosum, the largest white matter tract in the brain, is a midline structure associated with the formation of the hippocampus, septum pellucidum, and cingulate cortex, which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Corpus callosum shape deformation, therefore, may reflect a midline neuro developmental abnormality. Corpus callosum shape abnormalities in first-episode psychotic patients with schizophrenia may reflect a midline neuro developmental abnormality.
