Abnormalities of the septum pellucidum in schizophrenia

J Neuropsychiatry Clin Neurosci. 1989 Fall;1(4):385-90. doi: 10.1176/jnp.1.4.385.

Abstract

The authors present two cases of schizophrenia in young males who have malformations of the septum pellucidum, a thin sheet of cells and fibers located in the midline of the brain that separates the lateral ventricles. These cases are discussed in the context of newly proposed neurodevelopmental models of schizophrenia.
