Scanner predicts Schizophrenia
Research showed over ten years, the shrinkage of the brain of people affected by the disease.
Scientists at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland in an investigation revealed that people who develop schizophrenia show an accelerated brain shrinkage.
The study looked at young people at high risk for the disease who had two relatives who had suffered the disorder. It took a total of 146 brain scans of young people between 16 and 25 who had not yet experienced any symptoms of schizophrenia, and subjected to testing every 18 months for a period of 10 years.
Then, we compared the results with those of 36 people without the risk of developing the disorder.
Research, published in Biological Psychiatry (Biological Psquiatr?a) shows that the loss of brain tissue is concentrated in brain areas that control personality, decision making and social behavior.
Andrew McIntosh, doctor who led the study, said: "This research represents the culmination of more than 10 years of work and is an important advance in understanding the origins of schizophrenia years before the appearance
