• language abnormalities such as poverty of speech are thought to originate from structural and functional abnormality in the brain - temporal prefrontal neural
• kuperberg


  increased activity in the temporal cortex and inferior prefrontl cortex

  fMRI scans of 17 brains with schizophrenia

  loose associations produced may be due to hyperactivity in brain areas involved with language
• firth


  a breakdown in neural circuit that links to the prefrontal cortex - septo hippocmpal system is responsible for delusions
• aleman


  increases in prefrontal activity during difficult working tasks

  when tasks become too hard brains with schizophrenia showed reduced activity
