title: Schizophrenia and schizotypal personality: a tribute to Peter H. Venables.
abstract: Peter Venables made multiple contributions to the field of schizophrenia and schizotypy, most notably in the areas of psychophysiology, neurocognition, and assessment. On the 50th anniversary of the start of his research career in 1951, a conference on schizophrenia and schizotypy was held in his honor in Tuscany, Italy. This special edition encapsulates many of the presentations given at that meeting, covering the areas of neurodevelopment, assessment, genetics, psychophysiology, neurocognition, brain imaging, psychopharmacology, intervention, and prevention. A key theme of this special edition concerns the integration of schizophrenia and schizotypy research in a manner that will allow for a more comprehensive understanding of both of these disorders.
