Table 3 Structural and white matter magnetic resonance imaging evidence associated with impaired scene perception in schizophrenia
| Ref. | Structural MRI domains | Key findings | The structure and meaning | Level of evidence |
| [8] | Visual cortex retraction/thickness | V1, V2, and the MT+ area increase, the MT+ area selective thinning | This shows that the visual system forms in the center of the perceptual organization and motion analysis area had changed | Directional structure of MRI |
| [26] | Gray matter in the fusiform gyrus | Fusiform gray matter decreased with facial emotion recognition disorders; reduced spindle volume was associated with diminished N170 responses | Provides a bridge between anatomy and electrophysiology | Structure research |
| [27] | Rotational phenomena in the schizophrenia spectrum | There was an increase in gyri across the schizophrenia spectrum, consistent with early neurodevelopmental bias | Support the view that the scene perception of vulnerability may partly reflect the change of cortical development | Spectrum structure of MRI |
| [28] | Local cortical volume abnormality | Extensive cortical volume differences are associated with symptoms and cognition | It is suggested that deficits in scene perception may be limited by a broader load on occipitotemporal and related structures | Clinical form metrology research |
| [22] | Corpus callosum white matter organization | Structure - function abnormalities involved hemispheres pathways and visual correlation circuits | Means that the complex scene perception required massive consolidation efficiency reduced | Structure and multimodal MRI |
