Cognition, schizophrenia, and the atypical antipsychotic drugs

TL;DR: Recognition of the central importance of cognitive impairment to schizophrenia further diminished in the 1950s, after the development of antipsychotic drugs which had the ability to improve delusions and hallucinations, although, at the same time, causing significant extrapyramidal side effects (EPS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Infant Developmental Milestones and Subsequent Cognitive Function

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that earlier attainment of developmental milestones would be associated with better subsequent intellectual performance throughout the range of abilities, rather than confined to extremes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treatment of the schizophrenia prodrome: is it presently ethical?

TL;DR: It is argued that interest in prevention has outpaced the necessary scientific and ethical underpinnings for clinical trials involving the schizophrenia prodrome and that it is essential to establish solid base rates for schizophrenia in prodromal individuals before early treatment can be effectively evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

People at risk of schizophrenia. Sample characteristics of the first 100 cases in the Edinburgh High-Risk Study.

TL;DR: Some significant differences emerged between the high-risk group and the control group, namely in previous psychiatric history, forensic contacts, and delinquent behaviour, which may represent increased risk of developing schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

The psychology of persecutory ideation II: a virtual reality experimental study.

TL;DR: It is concluded that nonclinical paranoid thoughts are most closely associated with emotional disturbances and anomalous experiences and Extreme reasoning bias may particularly contribute to the development of clinical phenomena.

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.
