Schizophrenia is (not simply) a neurodevelopmental disorder.

TL;DR: Evidence from epidemiological, genetic and neuroimaging studies suggests that schizophrenia is in part a neurodevelopmental disorder, but it is pointed out that this is not the whole story.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing a minimal executive operation in schizophrenia.

TL;DR: The results suggest that although patients with schizophrenia may have some difficulty engaging the refresh process, they show significant long-term memory benefits when induced to do so.
Journal ArticleDOI

Approaches to psychiatric assessment in epidemiological studies of children

TL;DR: An assessment protocol for the longitudinal measurement of developmental psychopathology in a population-based study of children and adolescents is proposed and the recommendations may apply to other psychiatric epidemiological research designs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased familiarity of intellectual deficits in early-onset schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

TL;DR: High aggregation of intellectual performance in the EOS group suggests larger familial vulnerability in early-onset forms of the disease when cognitive functions are considered, and within a continuum of psychopathology in schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

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.

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.

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.
