MRI scans predicting Schizophrenia

The London institute of Psychiatry has found that some parts of the brain change slightly just before schizophrenic symptoms appear. They found that you can see the changes in the brain through MRI scans.

I'm not sure when this was found, but the BBC report was published on Novermber 1st 2000, so its fairly old news, but its kinda interesting. This is the link to the BBC news story about it...
