Methods
Participants
Study I (Zurich)
All SZ patients and FEP patients were recruited from outpatient and inpatient units at the
Psychiatric Hospital of the University of Zurich. For SZ, the inclusion criterion was a clinical
diagnosis of schizophrenia, while for FEP, the inclusion criterion was a first clinical diagnosis
of brief psychotic disorder, schizophreniform disorder or first-episode schizophrenia
confirmed in a structured Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview for DSM-IV
(M.I.N.I).1 We excluded patients with any other current DSM-IV axis I disorder,
benzodiazepines at more than 1mg/d lorazepam-equivalent, florid psychotic symptoms, i.e.
any positive subscale item score five or higher as measured with the Positive and Negative
Kirschner et al. Supplement
Syndrome Scale (PANSS)2, or extrapyramidal side effects.3 All SZ and FEP patients were
receiving a stable dose of atypical antipsychotics (no change for at least 2 weeks before scan).
Individuals with SPT were recruited using an online form of the Schizotypal Personality
Questionnaire (SPQ).4 956 participants completed the questionnaire (mean score 16.66 (SD
11.34). Individuals with the highest SPQ total scores (upper 10% of SPQ total score) were
invited to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria for SPT and HC were any current or past
axis I disorder confirmed with the M.I.N.I1 as well as use of psychopharmacological drugs. In
the Zurich dataset, the psychopathological assessment also included the Global Assessment of
Functioning scale (GAF).5 Moreover, all participants performed a comprehensive
neuropsychological test battery, which has been used in previous studies.6–9 We assessed
verbal learning (Auditory Verbal Learning Memory Test),10 verbal and visual short-term
working memory,11 corsi block-tapping12, processing speed (Digit-Symbol Coding),13
planning (Tower of London),14 and semantic and phonetic fluency (animal naming, s-
words).15 Results of all cognitive tests were summarized in a composite cognition score
computed with the mean of z-transformed scores (based on HC group data). Additionally, we
used the Multiple Word Test16 to control for premorbid verbal intelligence.
Study II (Montreal)
The confirmation sample for our schizotypy sample was derived from a previous imaging
study on schizotypy published by Soliman et al. .17 The total sample comprises 40 healthy
individuals including 15 individuals with low SPT, 13 individuals with high positive SPT and
12 individuals with high negative SPT. Individuals were recruited from undergraduate classes
McGill University who completed a 300-item questionnaire including the 35 items from the
Perceptual Aberration Scale (PerAb), 18 the 61 items from the Physical Anhedonia Scale
(PhysAn), 19 and distracter items from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality, Inventory-2.20
Individuals who scored either > 1.95 SD above the mean of their sex on either the PerAb or
PhysAn were assigned to the high positive (PerAb) schizotypy group or (PhysAn) schizotypy
group respectively. HC scored 0.5 S.D. below the mean on both scales as per previous
studies.21,22 Potential subjects had spent the majority of their lives in North America or Europe
to limit the potential effects of cultural variation on the schizotypy questionnaire responses.23
Potential subjects were screened for Axis I diagnoses using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule
Screening Instrument (DISSI);24 possible diagnoses were followed up with the Structured
Clinical Interview for DSM-IV.25 Current DSM-IV Axis I diagnosis, neurological condition,
prescription medication other than oral contraceptives, pregnancy, claustrophobia or metal in

the body were exclusion criteria. There were no significant group differences in age, sex,
ethnicity or handedness. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Boards of the
Montreal Neurological Institute and of the Institute Universitaire de Gériatrie de Montréal. All
individuals gave written informed consent and were compensated for their participation.
Study III (Basel)
The confirmation sample for our FEP sample were derived from previous structural magnetic
resonance imaging studies in early psychosis.26–28 The initial sample was total 119 individuals,
including 74 FEP and 45 HC. 15 FEP had to be excluded from the correlation analysis with
negative symptoms due to missing clinical data. Patients with FEP were defined as subjects
who met the operational criteria for first-episode psychosis according to the ICD-10 or DSM-
IV,29 but not yet for schizophrenia.30 Inclusion required scores of 4 or above on the
hallucination item or 5 or above on the unusual thought content, suspiciousness or conceptual
disorganisation items of the BPRS.30 The symptoms had to have occurred at least several
times a week and persisted for more than one week. Thirty-seven of the 74 patients with FEP
were antipsychotic-free, while the other 37 FEP patients were treated with mostly atypical
antipsychotics (atypical, n = 35: typical, n = 2).
Study IV (Munich)
The confirmation sample for the SZ group was derived from a study by Avram and
colleagues.31 All participants gave informed consent after receiving a complete description of
the study. Twenty-three patients meeting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders (DSM)-IV criteria for schizophrenia (age range: 23–65 years; mean: 43.04 11.90
years) were recruited from the Department of Psychiatry of Klinikum rechts der Isar, Munich,
by treating psychiatrists. Included patients were diagnosed with schizophrenia (at least two
previous psychotic episodes) and were currently in symptomatic remission of positive
symptoms according to the criteria of Andreasen et al.32. This required patients’ scores on the
Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) items: ‘delusions’ (P1), ‘conceptual
disorganization’ (P2), ‘hallucinatory behaviour’ (P3), ‘mannerisms/posturing’ (G5), and
‘unusual though content’ (G9) to be <= 3.32,33 For negative and general symptoms, no
remission criteria had to be fulfilled. All patients recruited for the study had at least two
hospitalizations/inpatient stays (range 2–20 stays; mean 5) with clinically manifest psychosis,
demonstrating higher positive symptom levels during earlier illness phases. Antipsychotic
medication was kept stable for at least 2 weeks before scanning. Additionally, 23 healthy
Kirschner et al. Supplement
subjects (age range: 25–62 years; mean: 38.54 11.63 years) who were comparable in age and
sex with the group of patients and had no personal history of psychiatric illness, substance
abuse, or first-degree relatives with schizophrenia, were recruited from the Munich area by
word-of-mouth advertising. Concerning ethnicity, the vast majority of subjects in both groups
were Caucasian (95.66% of the patient group and 87.5% of the healthy control group).
Participants with substance abuse (except for nicotine)—verified by knowledge of their long-
term treating psychiatrist (in the case of patients), clinical interview, questioning of family
members, or urine drug screening—were excluded from the study. The study was approved
by the Ethics Review Board of the Technical University of Munich, Germany.
Image Acquisition
Zurich dataset
Imaging data were collected with a Philips Achieva 3.0T magnetic resonance (MR) scanner
using a 32 channel SENSE head coil (Philips, Best, The Netherlands) at the Psychiatric
Hospital of the University of Zurich. T1 anatomical data were acquired with an ultrafast
gradient echo T1-weighted sequence (TR=8.4ms, TE=3.8ms, flip angle=8°) in 160 sagittal
plan slices (1mm slice thickness, no slice gap) of 240×240mm2 resulting in 1x1x1mm3
voxels. For image acquisition of the three confirmation datasets (Montreal, Basel, Munich)
please see supplementary methods.
Montreal dataset
Imaging was conducted on a 3T magnetic resonance imaging scanner with a 12-channel
radiofrequency head coil (Magnetom TRIO, Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany) at the
Unité de Neuroimagerie Fonctionelle, University of Montreal. 3D T1-weighted gradient echo
MRI data were acquired with a 1 mm3 resolution.
Basel dataset
All participants were examined using a 3T magnetic resonance imaging scanner with a 12-
channel radiofrequency head coil (Magnetom Verio, Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen,
Germany) at the Basel University Hospital. Head movement was minimized by foam padding
across the forehead. A whole brain 3-dimensional T1-weighted magnetization prepared rapid
acquisition gradient (MPRAGE) sequence was applied. The acquisition was based on a
sagittal matrix of 256×256x176 and 1mm3 isotropic spatial resolution, with an inversion time
of 1000ms, repetition time of 2s, echo time of 3.4ms, flip angle of 8° and bandwidth of
Kirschner et al. Supplement
200Hz/pixel. All images were reviewed by trained neuroradiologists and assessed for
radiological abnormalities.
Munich dataset
Data were acquired with a hybrid whole-body mMR Biograph PET/MRI scanner (Siemens
Healthcare) using a vendor-supplied 12-channel phase-array head coil. Anatomical T1-
weighted MRI data were acquired simultaneously with PET data (not presented here)
(repetition time/echo time/flip angle: 2300ms/2.98ms/9; 160 slices (gap 0.5mm) covering the
whole brain; field of view: 256mm; matrix size: 256x256; voxel size: 1.0x1.0x1.0 mm3).
Quality Control
Quality control (QC) followed the standardized ENIGMA protocols for subcortical and
cortical analysis (http://enigma.ini.usc.edu/protocols/imaging-protocols), which have been
used in several previous studies.34–38 For QC of subcortical data, all ROIs with a volume larger
or smaller than 1.5 times the interquartile range were identified and visually inspected by
overlaying their segmentations on the individual anatomical images. After visual inspection,
only ROI data with accurate segmentation were included in the statistical analyses (see Fig.
S1 for ROI volume histograms). For QC of cortical data, MOFC and LOFC thickness
histograms were generated. Visual inspection of outliers was performed by overlaying their
cortical parcellations on the subjects’ anatomical images. After visual inspection only
accurate parcellations were used for statistical analysis (see Fig. S1 for left and right MOFC
and LOFC thickness histograms).

Regional specificity of association between apathy and distinct subregions of the
striatum
We evaluated whether the significant association between apathy-putamen volume and
apathy-NAcc volume were significant different from the non-significant association between
apathy and caudate volume. Steiger’s test39 revealed that the associations between BNSS
apathy with right NAcc volume and right putamen were significant different compared to the
association between BNSS apathy and right caudate volume (Raccumb-Rcaud: z-score=-2.96,
p=0.050, Rput-Rcaud: z-score=-1.77, p=0.076) as well the association between BNSS apathy
with left putamen volume compared to the corresponding correlation between BNSS apathy
and left caudate volume (Lput-Lcaud: z-score=-2.92, p=0.003). These results suggest that the
significant relationships between BNSS apathy and striatal volumes show regional specificity
with respect to the right NAcc and left putamen.
Specificity of association between apathy and reduced striatal volume compared to
diminished expression
We examined whether the significant associations between subclinical apathy and reduced
putamen volumes as well as reduced NAcc volume were significant different compared to the
association between diminished expression and the corresponding striatal volumes. Using
Steiger’s test,39 we found that the associations between BNSS apathy and bilateral putamen as
well as right NAcc volume were significantly different compared to the association between
BNSS diminished expression and the three corresponding striatal volumes (Raccumb: z-
score=-2.168, p=0.03; Rput: z-score=-2.02, p=0.043; Lput: z-score=-2.92, p=0.003). These
findings indicate a specific association between reduced striatal volumes and BNSS apathy,
which is not associated with both negative symptom factors.
