Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to use structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study children at high risk for schizophrenia. It is hypothesized that children at high risk for schizophrenia will have abnormalities of brain development, especially of the cerebral cortex. The study will also describe normal brain development in children from birth to age 6 years

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We are currently following enrolled children at 4 and 6 years of age. We are obtaining structural MRIs and rsfMRIs. In addition, we are assessing cognitive function and behavior with Stanford-Binet, BRIEF and BASC.
