Metabolic comorbidities are the leading causes of premature death for veterans with schizophrenia. Although cellular and genetic studies have suggested that metabolic impairments may underlie neural dysfunction, studies in clinical neuroscience are limited. Resting state, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), is widely us... |
