A systematic review of the effects of antipsychotic drugs on brain volume

Abstract: Some evidence points towards the possibility that antipsychotic drugs reduce the volume of brain matter and increase ventricular or fluid volume. Antipsychotics may contribute to the genesis of some of the abnormalities usually attributed to schizophrenia.

“…The bulk of available evidence suggests that antipsychotics have regionally specific effects on brain structure, with the basal ganglia being the most susceptible. 47,48 Conflicting evidence has been presented with respect to the insula in this regard. Several authors report a lack of correlation between prescribed antipsychotic dose and insular volume.…”

“…Recent evidence points toward the likelihood that antipsychotic drugs in general reduce brain matter volume, and antipsychotics may actually produce some of the brain abnormalities that have usually been attributed to schizophrenia (Moncrieff and Leo 2010). Loxapine, in contrast, may have neurotrophic effects, based on findings of a human pluripotent stem cell study by Brennand and coworkers (2011).…”

“…Der Suchzeitraum in PUBMED umfasste die Jahre 1995 bis Mitte 2013, da erst ab etwa 1995 moderne Verfahren der Bildgebung in der Lage waren, spezifische VerĂ€nderungen der Hirnstruktur im Zeitverlauf ausreichend genau abzubilden. ZusĂ€tzlich ĂŒberprĂŒf-ten wir die Literaturverzeichnisse wichtiger einschlĂ€giger Reviews zum Thema [11,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23] sowie weiterer Übersichtsarbeiten [24] und der erfassten Publikationen nach Studien, welche die oben genannten Einschlusskriterien erfĂŒllten.…”
