Brains of people with schizophrenia-related disorders aren't all the same

A new multi-site brain imaging study shows that sub-groups of people use their brains differently when imitating emotional faces -- a task that reflects their ability to interact socially. Interestingly, individuals with schizophrenia do not have categorically different social brain function than those without mental illness, but fall into different sub-groups that may respond to different types of treatments. These findings call into question the most common research approaches in mental health.
