- Abstract
The article discusses the results of studies on the relationship between duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) and outcome. Imaging data indicate that if there is an active process of neuroprogression underlying active and progressive structural change in key brain areas such as the hippocampus, then the longer the DUP, the greater the time available for the potentially neurotoxic process to unfold.
