Fig. 1: Brain abnormalities associated with formal thought disorders (FTD) and auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs).

A Significant loci retrieved from previous meta-analyses of FTD23 and AVHs24,25,27,28,29,109. A four-millimeter sphere is created centering on the reported loci. Colors indicate different meta-analyses. B T-statistic maps of brain regions connected to the activation loci of each meta-analysis (T threshold = 40 for illustration). A group mask was created based on binarized T-statistic maps above 60% of studies.
