Etiological and clinical features of childhood psychotic symptoms: results from a birth cohort.

TL;DR: The results indicate that children who have psychotic symptoms can be recruited for neuroscience research to determine the pathogenesis of schizophrenia and indicate that psychotic symptoms in childhood are often a marker of an impaired developmental process and should be actively assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The life course prospective design: an example of benefits and problems associated with study longevity.

TL;DR: Although the problems inherent in the prospective design are unavoidable they are not, in the study described, a barrier to scientific and policy value and that seems also likely in Britain's two later born national birth cohort studies that have continued into adulthood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Social functioning in individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that even at the pre-psychotic phase of the illness, these young people are demonstrating significant deficits in social functioning, supporting that social deficits are present long before the onset of psychotic symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

22q11 Deletion Syndrome in Adults With Schizophrenia

TL;DR: The results replicate the association of a 22q11 deletion syndrome with schizophrenia and confirm the importance of ascertainment in influencing the phenotype found, which may include significant behavioral components that emerge over time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Childhood Cognitive Functioning in Schizophrenia Patients and Their Unaffected Siblings: A Prospective Cohort Study

TL;DR: During the period from age 4 to age 7 years, premorbid cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia represents a relatively stable indicator of vulnerability deriving from primarily genetic (and/or shared environmental) etiologic influences.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
