What is the neurodevelopmental hypothesis?
What will be an ideal response?
According to the neurodevelopmental hypothesis, prenatal or neonatal influences-genetic, environmental, or both- produce abnormalities in the developing brain. Even if these abnormalities by themselves do not cause schizophrenia, they leave the brain vulnerable to other disturbances at critical periods in childhood or adolescence. Those disturbances could include traumatic experiences, viral infections, dietary deficiencies or allergies, exposure to toxic chemicals, and other possible insults (Davis et al., 2016). The cumulative effect distorts brain function, and therefore behavior (Fatemi & Folsom, 2009; Weinberger, 1996).
