two ormorefamily members had been diagnosed.
Researchers have searched for changes in the gray matter of the brain - tissue consisting
mainly of neurons, which transmit the signal to the brain and help to keep
memories.
Eight of the 65 participants in the experiment had developed schizophrenia in 2-3 years after
the experiment began. MRI analysis of each of these eight individuals revealed the presence of
changes in the gray matter of the brain.
It is known that people who develop schizophrenia suffer from bouts of
anxiety for two years before the onset of the disease. Scans revealed changes in the site
the brain responsible for processing the alarm.
Researchers believe that the findings will help predict a difficult
mental illness in the early stages of development.
