Summary

This study looked at how young people (ages 15-35) who have a parent or sibling with schizophrenia process social cues like facial expressions. Researchers used brain scans and emotion recognition tests to understand their social thinking patterns. They also tested whether a computer-based training program could improve emotion recognition. The goal was to learn more about early signs of risk and potential ways to help.
