While variable brain structures in schizophrenia may reflect differences in symptoms between patients, the uniformity of brain folding in the mid-frontal brain area suggests a developmental trait common to people with schizophrenia. Because brain folding is largely completed in early childhood, brain development during this period appears to be less flexible in schizophrenia patients, particularly in areas responsible for linking thinking and feeling processes.
I’ve often felt that a child’s inhibition aka inability to express one’s feelings in a healthy way might have something to do with development of mental pathology later in life.
I still have trouble identifying and verbally expressing my needs and emotions.
One can find brain structures in schizophrenia patients to display varying patterns of difference. Various symptoms, as well as a common developmental trait share a link to alterations in the mid-frontal brain area. Brain development during early stages determines changes that surface regarding flexibility throughout life. The neurological explanations connect to some deficits in emotional and cognitive connections among schizophrenia patients.
