An individual’s risk for schizophrenia is usually evaluated in terms of their familial, environmental and neurobiological risk factors. Our research indicates that factors conferring resilience to becoming ill are just as important. This study will use brain imaging techniques to study individuals with schizophrenia and their unaffected siblings, aiming to identify factors that have provided the unaffected siblings with resilience to becoming ill, despite their familial risk.

个体患精神分裂症的风险通常根据其家族、环境和神经生物学风险因素进行评估。我们的研究表明，赋予抗病能力的因素同样重要。这项研究将使用脑成像技术来研究精神分裂症患者及其未受影响的兄弟姐妹，旨在找出使未受影响的兄弟姐妹尽管有家族风险但能够抵抗疾病的因素。
