Prospective Studies of the Pathogenesis of Schizophrenia
Prospective Studies of the Pathogenesis of Schizophrenia (Center Title) Early Brain Development in High Risk Children (Project Title) Early Brain Development in One and Two Year Olds (Associated Grant Title)

The purpose of this study is to use structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study children at high risk for schizophrenia. It is hypothesized that children at high risk for schizophrenia will have abnormalities of brain development, especially of the cerebral cortex.
