Abstract
Maternal viral infections and stress during pregnancy appear to increase the likelihood of risk for schizophrenia. Stressors that occur after birth do not play the same role. Studies of identical twins, one with and one without schizophrenia reveal that the ill twin has smaller brain volume, especially the region of the hippocampus. There also appears to be diminished function in the prefrontal regions of the brain where information is synthesized, decisions are made, and reasoning occurs.
