Schizophrenia’s Brain Damage May Start in One Key Region

Schizophrenia may leave a distinctive biological footprint across the brain’s communication network. Using specialized PET imaging, researchers have mapped where synaptic connections are most reduced in people with schizophrenia and identified a possible region from which the damage begins to spread. The study, which involved a Rutgers professor, was published in Molecular Psychiatry. Synapses are [...]
