NEW from @DrSMSilverstein Schizophrenia affects more than thinking. Changes in the eyes & visual brain areas may signal the illness early & help predict psychosis, disease course, & cognitive decline, showing it is a multisystem condition. doi.org/10.1146/annure…

New research from @DrSMSilverstein shows that people with schizophrenia may process recent visual experiences differently. This study found stronger early-stage visual adaptation, suggesting changes in basic visual brain areas may play a role. @urmc_psych doi.org/10.1093/schbul…
