Developmental precursors of psychosis.

TL;DR: No powerful risk factor, premorbid sign, or risk indicator has been identified that is useful for prediction of psychoses in the general population that is not necessarily specific to schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Kraepelinian dichotomy: evidence from developmental and neuroimaging studies.

TL;DR: The Kraepelinian Dichotomy: Evidence from Developmental and Neuroimaging Studies shows clear links to major depressive disorder, particularly in young people aged under the age of 18.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is there a degenerative process going on in the brain of people with Schizophrenia

TL;DR: Some ideas about compensatory reactions and Cognitive Reserve Theory is outlined as possible explanations of the recent magnetic resonance imaging studies that show structural changes in the brain after the onset of schizophrenia, at the same time as cognitive functioning does not become more impaired.
Journal ArticleDOI

Core of schizophrenia: estrangement, dementia or neurocognitive disorder?

TL;DR: The empirical morphological and neuropathological evidence does not support any close analogy of schizophrenia with neurodegenerative dementia and the neurodevelopmental model should integrate interactions between emerging psychological structures and genetic and environmental factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Premorbid impairments in early-onset psychosis: differences between patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

TL;DR: Between childhood and early adolescence, schizophrenia and bipolar patients showed a greater decline in academic adjustment than healthy controls, more specifically in adaptation to school and Intellectual premorbid abnormalities are less specific and probably more linked to early-onset psychosis.

Implications of normal brain development for the pathogenesis of schizophrenia

TL;DR: The findings suggest that nonspecific histopathology exists in the limbic system, diencephalon, and prefrontal cortex, that the pathology occurs early in development, and that the causative process is inactive long before the diagnosis is made.

The strategy of preventive medicine

Geoffrey Rose
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the relation of risk to exposure, prevention for individuals and the 'high-risk' strategy, and the population strategy of prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adult Schizophrenia Following Prenatal Exposure to an Influenza Epidemic

TL;DR: It is suggested that it is less the type than the timing of the disturbance during fetal neural development that is critical in determining risk for schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anatomical abnormalities in the brains of monozygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that subtle abnormalities of cerebral anatomy (namely, small anterior hippocampi and enlarged lateral and third ventricles) are consistent neuropathologic features of schizophrenia and that their cause is at least in part not genetic.

Is schizophrenia a neurodevelopmental disorder

Robin M. Murray, +1 more
- 19 Sep 1987 - 
TL;DR: Much research implicates the left rather than the right cerebral hemisphere in schizophrenia, and there is evidence that schizophrenics are more likely to be left handed than controls, and the normal development of lateralised cerebral dominance can be disrupted by premature birth with a resultant increase in left handedness.
