Schizophrenia damages the frontal and temporal lobes and the vesicles.
A brain scan cannot detect schizophrenia, although many people with schizophrenia do have abnormal brain scans. The brain damage is not apparent until the disease has already progressed far enough to show clear signs of schizophrenia.
None, because schizophrenia is a condition determined by checklists and psychiatrists. It is not a condition derived from physical brain damage.
You usually cannot diagnose schizophrenia from a simple brain scan. However, long-term damage to the brain from schizophrenia can sometimes be assessed by a MRI scan.
Schizophrenia has no effect on brain weight.
Typically, the temporal lobe and limbic system are involved in schizophrenia. Lesions, malformations, or simply dysfunction in dopaminergic neurons of these areas of the brain can result in the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Since excess dopaminergic activity is indicative of schizophrenia, antipsychotic drugs that block dopamine receptors are the usual treatment for this illness.
Paranoid schizophrenia is a disease of the brain.
Schizophrenia mainly affects the brain.
Evidence suggests that schizophrenia is a physical disorder of the brain.
A type of schizophrenia known as catatonic can effect the skin (with insensitivity to pain) and can effect muscle control. Generally, the other types of schizophrenia effect only the mind.
The Brain
Schizophrenia is a biological disease of the brain.
There is no specific region. If there is any kind of damage, it could be in different places for different people. Not everyone that has epilepsy has brain damage and equally, not everyone that has brain damage has epilepsy.
