The Focus on Neuroscience Box, "Schizophrenia: a Wildfire in the Brain

The Focus on Neuroscience box, "Schizophrenia: A Wildfire in the Brain," discussed neuroscientist Paul Thompson's research on adolescent brain development. As compared to normal adolescents, adolescents with early-onset schizophrenia:

A) lost a small amount of gray matter (about 1 percent) over the five-year study.
B) lost more than 5 percent of gray matter over the five-year study.
C) experienced a significant enlargement of the frontal lobes and a decrease in the overall volume of the ventricles over the five-year study.
D) showed only about a 2 percent increase in gray matter over the five-year study.
