Cognitive biases have been identified in those with the diagnosis or those at risk, especially when under stress or in confusing situations.[49] Some cognitive features may reflect global neurocognitive deficits such as memory loss, while others may be related to particular issues and experiences Psychological Schizophrenia is associated with subtle differences in brain structures, found in 40 to 50% of cases, and in brain chemistry during acute psychotic states. Studies using neuropsychological tests and brain imaging technologies such as fMRI and PET to examine functional differences in brain activity have shown that differences seem to most commonly occur in the frontal lobes, hippocampus and temporal lobes.Reductions in brain volume, smaller than those found in Alzheimer‘s disease, have been reported in areas of the frontal cortex and temporal lobes. It is uncertain whether these volumetric changes are progressive or preexist prior to the onset of the disease.These differences have been linked to the neurocognitive deficits often associated with schizophrenia.Because neural circuits are altered, it has alternatively been suggested that schizophrenia should be thought of as a collection of neurodevelopmental disorders. Neurological Particular attention has been paid to the function of dopamine in the mesolimbic pathway of the b
