Higher lymphocyte count associated with larger hippocampal volume and fewer depressive symptoms in drug–naïve first-episode psychosis

Circulating white blood cells (leucocytes), which form the peripheral immune system, are crucial in inflammatory processes but their role in brain structural change in schizophrenia has been scarcely studied. With this study we want to determine how and which type of white blood cells are associated...
