Clinical and Neurodevelopmental Aspects of Brain Pathology in Schizophrenia

  • Chapter
Developmental Neuropathology of Schizophrenia

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 217))

Abstract

After the failure of classical neuropathological schizophrenia research to convincingly demonstrate anatomical anomalies in the brains of schizophrenics, a new era of pathomorphological interest in schizophrenia started some 10 years ago. It received strong impetus from modern neuroimaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) studies as well as from new morphometric post mortem methods.
