The promise of epidemiologic studies: neuroimmune mechanisms in the etiologies of brain disorders.

Full Abstract

We present our views on current and past epidemiological contributions to our understanding of neuroimmune mechanisms for neurodevelopmental disorders, such as schizophrenia. We also discuss future directions for epidemiological studies and ways in which newer cohorts are well positioned to address questions that were previously not feasible to explore.
