摘要
Schizophrenia is a serious and chronic brain disorder whose underlying neuropathology has proven difficult to identify. This article reviews the current status of neuropathological studies in terms of how they inform the diagnosis, pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and mechanisms of treatment of schizophrenia. Although additional studies are required, substantial data converge on the hypothesis that the pathophysiology of schizophrenia is associated with alterations in thalamic-prefrontal cortical connectivity.
