A new study has found that the adult brain has the ability to change and grow. The study shows that brains of people who suffer from schizophrenia may attempt to repair damage caused by the disease. Professor Cyndi Shannon Weickert Dipesh Joshi and their colleagues from Neuroscience Research Australia studied the brains of 38 schizophrenic people and 38 normal people focussing on one of the hardest-hit regions -- the orbitofrontal cortex the part of the brain involved in regulating emotional and social behaviour. Most neurons brain cells that transmit information are found in tissue near the surface of the brain.
