Going ahead with their plans, the Association for Research on
Schizophrenia CARS), the Schizophrenia Research Group of the
Institute of Psychiatry of the University of Milan and the Tito and
Fanny Legrenzi Foundation organized the International Meeting
"Etiopathogenetic Hypotheses of Schizophrenia: The Impact of
Epidemiological, Biochemical and Neuromorphological Studies," held
in Milan on October 3-4 1986. The Meeting was an excellent occasion
for the exchange of information and the sharing of views on the
etiological hypotheses of schizophrenia resulting from the latest
research in the key areas of epidemiology, biochemistry amd brain
imaging. We are very pleased and proud to have had so many of the
leading researchers in schizophrenia with us. Their stimulating and
friendly presence and their contributions made this Meeting a great
success. We hope that this book, a collection of the various
participants' contributions at the Meeting, will have an equally
favourable reception. The Editors viii List of contributors N. C.

In the last few years ways of thinking in psychiatry have undergone
considerable change thanks to advances in the fields of morphology
and plasticity of the CNS, particularly with regard to
schizophrenic and mood disorders. In addition, the rapid and
considerable development of neuroimaging techniques (CT, MRI, PET
and computerized EEG) and of molecular genetics (through DNA
recombinant meth odologies) have widened the approach to these
disorders in a way unimagined a few years ago. These advances and
the new etiopathogenetic hypotheses that have sprung from them were
the central theme of the Second International Meeting on Schizophre
nia "Morphology and Plasticity of the Central Nervous System - A
Challenge for Psychiatry of the Nineties" which was organized by
the Association for Research on Schizophrenia (ARS), the
Schizophrenia Research Center of the Institute of Psychiatry of the
University of Milan and the T. and F. Legrenzi Foundation, held in
Milan on October 22-24, 1987. This book contains the contributions
from participants of the meeting, which took place in a warm and
friendly atmosphere and marked by lively and exhaustive discussions
on the various papers. The contributions were recently revised for
the present publication. We would like to express our appreciation
to the book's contributors for the high quality of their reports."
