TL;DR: The attenuated engagement of right temporal cortex, which is implicated in language comprehension at the discourse level, is consistent with neuropsychological evidence linking thought disorder with deficits in processing linguistic context.

TL;DR: It is proposed that prenatal exposure to influenza induces maternal antibodies which then cross-react with proteins in the developing foetal brain, becomingfoetal autoantibodies, the biological substrate for a proportion of adult schizophrenia.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the excess of mixed- handedness in schizophrenia may have a genetic basis and there was some evidence for impaired sociability in the mixed-handed schizophrenic patients.

TL;DR: Latent class analysis on an epidemiologically based series of 447 first contact patients with a broad diagnosis of schizophrenia revealed evidence for two subtypes: a 'neurodevelopmental' type characterized by early onset, poor pre-morbid social adjustment, restricted affect and a male:female ratio of 7:3; and a 'paranoid'type characterized by later onset, persecutory delusions and an almost equal sex ratio.

TL;DR: Evidence of a genetic association between bipolar disorder and alleles at 3 monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) markers, but not with alleles of a monoamines oxidase B (MAOB) polymorphism is presented.
