Editing Caudate nucleus (section)

===Schizophrenia===

The volume of white matter in the caudate nucleus has been linked with patients diagnosed with [[schizophrenia]]. A 2004 study uses [[magnetic resonance imaging]] to compare the relative volume of white matter in the caudate among schizophrenia patients. Those patients with the disorder have "smaller absolute and relative volumes of white matter in the caudate nucleus than healthy subjects."<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Takase K, Tamagaki C, Okugawa G, Nobuhara K, Minami T, Sugimoto T, Sawada S, Kinoshita T | title = Reduced white matter volume of the caudate nucleus in patients with schizophrenia | journal = Neuropsychobiology | volume = 50 | issue = 4 | pages = 296–300 | year = 2004 | pmid = 15539860 | doi = 10.1159/000080956 | s2cid = 7921315 | id = {{ProQuest|293981781}} }}</ref>
