Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder typically emerging in adolescence or early adulthood. It is thought to occur because of alteration in the maturation or pruning of connexions between neurons called synapses. While this theory, called the synaptic theory is supported by genetic, stem cell and studies of brain of deceased patients, direct evidence to support this theory in living patients was doubtful.
