Here's Exactly How it Feels to be Schizophrenic

Testing also depicted a lower level of blood flow in frontal regions in those with schizophrenia compared to those without, a condition that is commonly referred to as hypofrontality. There are also supporting studies that found people with schizophrenia may also have reduced activation in frontal regions of the brain during tasks that are considered to activate them normally. What this means is that the frontal lobe function performance has been shown to be impaired, and that this can be considered evidence to show a reduction of volume in certain frontal lobe regions. Despite the progress in identifying these trends, a consistent pattern of structural degradation has not yet been found.
