Abstract
This short paper is an attempt to integrate what we know about the biological development of schizophrenia. It attempts to
integrate Neurodevelomental, Dopamine, Glutamate, Salience and Psychological theories of the development of schizophrenia into a
unitary whole, and thus to illustrate how these theories relate together. It is a summary of a much larger work, presently in
preparation, done for the purposes of the present coference.
It attempts to describe the biological development of schizophrenia, and thence the delusions and hallucinations which play a
part in it symptomatically.
