Resumen

Humans have long searched for the origins of distinctive traits including character and emotion. Central to these investigations have been studies of the human brain. Following the first clinical characterization of schizophrenia by Kraepelin (1887) as a unique psychiatric illness and the realization that mental illness resides in select areas of the brain (Crichton-Browne, 1879), the use of postmortem brain to study the pathophysiology of psychiatric illness has significantly advanced our understanding of these disorders.
