[QUOTE="runawaybunny, post: 383891"] [B][URL='http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/06/100621111240.htm']Brain Signs of Schizophrenia Found in Babies - Science Daily[/URL][/B] Schizophrenia is a debilitating mental disorder affecting one in 100 people worldwide. Most cases aren't detected until a person starts experiencing symptoms like delusions and hallucinations as a teenager or adult. By that time, the disease has often progressed so far that it can be difficult to treat. In a paper published recently online by the [I]American Journal of Psychiatry[/I], researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Columbia University provide the first evidence that brain abnormalities associated with schizophrenia risk are detectable in babies only a few weeks old. This research provides the first indication that brain abnormalities associated with schizophrenia can be detected early in life. Improving early detection could allow doctors to develop new approaches to prevent high-risk children from developing the disease. "The research will give us a better sense of when brain development becomes different," said Gilmore. "And that will help us target interventions." [/QUOTE]
