This book provides a critical update and synthesis of contemporary evidence for schizophrenia as a brain disease of early, neurodevelopmental origin; it does this through contributions from leading authorities in this field who work at multiple levels of biological and epidemiological enquiry. The work seeks both to integrate this evolving body of evidence and to examine the strengths and weaknesses of the neurodevelopmental model.
