Executive function and genetic predisposition to schizophrenia--the Maudsley family study.

TL;DR: The results suggest that executive deficits qualitatively similar to those seen in those with schizophrenia reflect familial susceptibility, even taking early IQ and education into consideration, consistent with a genetic mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early maternal stress and health behaviours and offspring expression of psychosis in adolescence.

TL;DR: It has been suggested that influences operating early in life may affect the risk of postpubertal psychosis outcomes and this hypothesis was tested using a broad outcome of psychotic symptoms expressed in adolescence.
Journal ArticleDOI

The early origins of schizophrenia

TL;DR: Studies of the brain yield results consistent with the multi-system nature of the clinical syndrome of schizophrenia in adult life, and with the notion of a longitudinal or developmental phenotype, of which the adult syndrome is but one aspect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal bonding behaviour in schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, considering premorbid personality traits

TL;DR: The results suggest that premorbid personality traits should be considered not only in analyses of maternal care behaviour in schizophrenic and schizoaffective patients but also when studying other psychiatric patient groups.

Journal ArticleDOI

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.
