The association between schizophrenia and violent
behavior has significant clinical and social
implications. Although previous studies had proved that
alterations in the basal ganglia, predominantly the
striatum, constitute important characteristics of neural
pathology in schizophrenia, the relationship between
functional connectivity of striatum and severely violent
behaviors still remains unknown. The aim of the current
study is to explore the characteristic functional
connectivity in a subgroup of schizophrenia patients
with severe violent behavior and its relationship with
clinical measurements.
