Psychosis is a debilitating trans-diagnostic syndrome characterized by hallucinations and delusions (Rehm and Shield 2019). The thalamus and its cortical connections play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of psychosis (Onofrj et al. 2023; Moustafa et al. 2017). However, despite often referred to as one structure, the thalamus is composed of separate nuclei with distinct cortical connections (Sherman and Guillery 2006). Recent investigations revealed lower volumes of only the medial thalamic subnuclei in first-episode psychosis patients (Thalhammer et al., 2023, in revision). Correspondingl
