The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between gray matter volume and two subtypes of psychotic symptoms, namely paranoid and misidentification subtypes, in antipsychotic-naïve mild or moderate AD patients.
Misidentification subtype compared with non-psychosis group showed more significantly decreased gray matter volume.
Misidentification subtype compared with paranoid subtype showed more significantly decreased gray matter volume.
Non-psychosis group compared with paranoid subtype showed more significantly decreased gray matter volume.
These results suggest that misidentification, paranoid subtype and non-psychosis group have distinct neural correlate.
