Abstract
In this study we identified a dissociable relationship between dimensional psychopathology and brain structure using a sample of 1,394 youth. Increased fear symptoms were associated with reduced cortical thickness, and overall psychopathology was linked to global reductions in gray matter volume, suggesting potential biomarkers that may enhance interventions in youth.
