Morphological, Structural and Functional Neural Substrates of Quality of Life in Schizophrenia

The aim of the investigators analysis is to identify the neural correlates of quality of life scores in schizophrenia. For this, the investigators will constitute group of patients according to their quality of life scores and the investigators will analyze their differences in patterns of brain structures and activations.
