Strong inference, theory testing, and the neuroanatomy of schizophrenia.
Failure to address the putative etiologic and pathophysiologic heterogeneity of the schizophrenia syndrome and problems in definitive assessment of human brain function have impaired progress in schizophrenia research. New approaches to psychopathology and converging evidence from antemortem and postmortem study can now result in more decisive study of the neuroanatomy and neuropathology of schizophrenia.
