Positive and negative schizotypy reflect distinct patterns of subclinical traits in the general population associated with neurodevelopmental and schizophrenia-spectrum pathologies. Yet, a comprehensive characterization of the unique and shared neuroanatomical signatures of these schizotypy dimensions is lacking. Leveraging 3D brain MRI data from 2730 unmedicated healthy individuals, we identified neuroanatomical profiles of positive and negative schizotypy and systematically compared them with disorder-specific, microarchitectural, neurotransmitter-level, and connectome measures. Positive and negative schizotypy were associated with distinct cortical signatures, of predominantly thinner frontal and thicker paralimbic cortical areas, respectively. These cortical signatures of positive and negative schizotypy were differentially linked to brain-wide cortical patterns of schizophrenia-spectrum (clinical high-risk for psychosis, schizophrenia) and neurodevelopmental conditions (ADHD, autism spectrum disorder and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome). Additionally, the positive and negative schizotypy-related cortical profiles mapped onto different local attributes of gene expression, cortical myelination, D1, and histamine receptor distributions. Network models further showed that positive and negative schizotypy cortical signatures were spatially associated with cortical hubs, suggesting that highly interconnected regions are more vulnerable to the morphological differences associated wit...
