Crow Timothy J

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To achieve a unified concept of the aetiology of psychosis. BACKGROUND: The nuclear symptoms of "schizophrenia" occur with approximately the same age- and sex-specific incidence in all human populations. No substantive environmental precipitant has been identified, and yet these "illnesses" are associated with deviations in brain structure that are uniform across populations, are established late in...
