Abstract
These findings are generally consistent with the findings of other research groups, but localization of enlarged ventricles specific to the posterior region may be a new finding in the literature on childhood-onset schizophrenia.

The decline in synaptic density observed between ages 2--16 years was accompanied by a slight decrease in neuronal density, and human cerebral cortex is one of a number of neuronal systems in which loss of neurons and synapses appears to occur as a late developmental event.
