N1 - Funding Information: Individuals. In this regard. it is noteworthy that structural abnormalities have not been confined to the anterior cingulate cortex in schizophrenia. For example, disturbances in layer II of the prefrontal (Benes et al.. 1991) and entorhinal cortex (Jakoh and Beckman. 1986: Falkai et al., 198X) in schizophrenics have also been reported and a disturbance of early brain ontogeny has been similarly proposed for the entorhmal region (Jakoh and Beckmann, 1986). Thus. studies in independent lahoraiories have yielded data in support of a neurodevelop-mental model of schizophrenia in which pcrinatal complications play a role (Weinherger. 1987; Benes. 1989). To obtain further support for such an hypothesis, it wjill he necessary to determine whether individuals without schizophrenia who were also exposed to obstetrical complications might also show alterations in the structure of cortical layer II. Moreover. since it is unlikely that perinatal insults alone can explain the occurrence of schizophrenia in ccrtaln individuals. it will he important to determine whether there are additional structural changes that may he associated with other risk factors for schizophrenia. such as an abnormal gene. To do this. It will he necessary to develop strntcgics for determining whether other microscopic differences in schizophrenic brain. such as excess numbers of associative connections in anterior cingulate cortex (Benes et al.. 1987). not explainable by a perinatal injury. may hc related to an inhcrlted trait. In this way, it may eventually he possible to derive a two-factor model of schizophrenia expressed in terms of discrete alterations in brain circuitry.
