TLDR
Differences between children destined to develop schizophrenia as adults and the general population were found across a range of developmental domains, and the origins of schizophrenia may be found in early life.

Patterns of premorbid functioning in first-episode psychosis: initial presentation.

TL;DR: These results suggest that prior to the onset of the acute psychosis those who have poor social and interpersonal functioning premorbidly present initially with increased social impairment and negative symptoms compared to those who has better premor bid functioning.
Journal ArticleDOI

A prospective twin study of birth weight discordance and child problem behavior.

TL;DR: The fact that the effect size of the association between low birth weight and child problem behavior was not reduced in pairs with greater levels of CBCL discordance, and similar effect sizes were found in monozygotic and dizygotic twins for the within-pair association between birth weight discordance and CBCL score discordance suggests that the observed relationship is not due to a shared environmental or genetic variable that influences both characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cognitive development prior to onset of psychosis.

TL;DR: An overview of population-based studies on premorbid cognitive deficits in schizophrenia is given, with a special focus on evidence regarding the specificity, profile and course of these deficits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between psychotic disorder and urban place of birth is not mediated by obstetric complications or childhood socio-economic position: a cohort study.

TL;DR: Urbanization of birthplace is associated with increased risk of non-affective psychosis but this is not confined to narrowly defined cases and the magnitude of the association in Sweden is lower than that reported in other studies.

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.
