Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enlarged ventricles and a smaller than normal thalamus are consistent with the brain abnormalities often found in individuals with schizophrenia. These brain abnormalities are thought to contribute to the cognitive and behavioral symptoms associated with this disorder. Dissociative identity disorder, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder are not typically associated with these specific structural brain abnormalities.
