The present study aimed to analyze a change in hippocampal volume at baseline and a 2-year follow-up in a sample group of school-going adolescents who reported psychotic experiences compared with control adolescents. We also wished to investigate the role of functioning and stressful life events in influencing hippocampal volume.
