Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The neurodevelopmental model suggests that a combination of genetic and prenatal/perinatal factors contributes to the development of schizophrenia. This theory proposes that disruptions in brain development during crucial periods of prenatal and early postnatal development can lead to structural and functional abnormalities in the brain, which can increase vulnerability to schizophrenia later in life. Factors such as viral infections during pregnancy, maternal stress, and malnutrition have been found to increase the risk of schizophrenia in offspring. Additionally, genetic factors may interact with these environmental factors to increase vulnerability to schizophrenia.
