Genetic insights into the neurodevelopmental origins of schizophrenia

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 18, 727 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.125 Authors: Rebecca Birnbaum & Daniel R. Weinberger Schizophrenia is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder with a longstanding history of neurobiological investigation. Although the underlying causal mechanisms remain unknown, early neurodevelopmental events have been implicated in pathogenesis, initially by epidemiological and circumstantial data but more recently by brain-specific molecular and genetic findings. Notably, genomic
