Heat maps describing the spatial overlap of MRS voxels in (A) rostral MFC and (B) midline occipital cortex across all participants. Boxplots demonstrating GABA+ concentrations in (C) rostral MFC and (D) midline occipital cortex in each of the three participant groups. HC: healthy control participants, APS: attenuated psychosis syndrome; FEP: first episode psychosis. These values are uncorrected for PSI9.
