What part of the brain does schizophrenia affect?



10 points if you can find me an image of this part of the brain.

It's really hard to make a generalized answer as it depends on the individual patient. Antipsychotics work on dopamine (specifically D2 receptors); also H2 (histamine) receptors play a part as well. In a nutshell, your going to looking predominately in the frontal and temporal lobes.
Let me ask one of my other personalities and I will get back with you on that. No you won't. Yes, I will. No you won't. Yes, I will..........

Above is a link to different parts of the brain that are affected by schizophrenia. It states that there is a significant loss of gray matter. I also found a link that states the frontal lobe and prefrontal cortex are affected as well. Hope this helps!

Hope this helps. I foun these links simply by using keywords "schizophrenia brain" in google images. Best of luck!
the reason why schizophrenics get delusions and hallucinations is because of the misfiring of the neurons, and the dopamine that is realeased is not regulated, so therefore i think that the whole brain is effected because of misregulations of neurotransomitters.
