Are there Specific Histological Markers for Psychiatric Disorders?
Psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, lack distinct histological markers. However, studies have identified alterations in the size and density of neuronal populations in specific brain regions. For instance, reduced neuronal density in the prefrontal cortex has been associated with schizophrenia, while changes in glial cell populations have been noted in bipolar disorder.
