Schizophrenia and The Brain

My group did a project on schizophrenia and how it affects the brain. I did not know much about schizophrenia besides the fact that it's an illness. However, after this project I learned more about it like what happens in the brain of someone with schizophrenia and the medication that people with schizophrenia take - also that the medicine comes with some drawbacks. I learned a lot about which neurotransmitters are affected by schizophrenia and which parts of the brain is lost with someone with schizophrenia. I learned about how people with schizophrenia cope and what they have to deal with. I learned how/why people with schizophrenia are sensitive to touch and "over-exaggerate" pain - or feel nothing. It was a good project, even though it was hard to understand at times.
