1. Implications of Normal Brain Development for the Pathogenesis of SchizophreniaArchives of General Psychiatry · 1987 · 3,757 citations

   Recent research on schizophrenia has demonstrated that in this disorder the brain is not, strictly speaking, normal. The findings suggest that nonspecific histopathology exists in the limbic system, diencephalon, and prefrontal cortex, that the pathology occurs early in development, and…

2. Effect of COMT Val 108/158 Met genotype on frontal lobe function and risk for schizophreniaProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences · 2001 · 2,397 citations

   Abnormalities of prefrontal cortical function are prominent features of schizophrenia and have been associated with genetic risk, suggesting that susceptibility genes for schizophrenia may impact on the molecular mechanisms of prefrontal function. A potential susceptibility mechanism involves regulation of prefrontal…

3. Serotonin Transporter Genetic Variation and the Response of the Human AmygdalaScience · 2002 · 2,350 citations

   A functional polymorphism in the promoter region of the human serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) has been associated with several dimensions of neuroticism and psychopathology, especially anxiety traits, but the predictive value of this genotype against these complex behaviors has been…
