Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

C
MRI and CT scans have led to theories that schizotypal personality disorder is probably a milder form along the schizophrenia continuum. These scans show important similarities between the two illnesses, as well as several differences. There are abnormalities in the temporal lobe of people with schizophrenia that do not exist in the brains of people with schizotypal personality disorder.
